I made some crochet baubles last year and gave them as a gift very successfully so I thought I would do some more again this year. They are small, I can make one in half and hour and they are great to put in the post to far away friends.
These ones are made of sock yarn. Christina from Colourful Life sent me some sock yarn leftovers for my Autumn wander shawl but there was also some yarn in the parcel with a little sparkle. The baubles are cheap plastic ones but the yarn does all the talking.
The pattern is free from Ravelry here. Easy to do and just a bit more interesting than granny treble ones or plain double crochet.
Essentially they are a bauble cosy! You make two halves and join them together around a bauble with a whip stitch.
Might do a few more. Are you still making?

A bauble cosy, I like it! I am just contemplating the possibility of picking up my knitting, haven't touched it in weeks and no doubt it is full of plaster dust... xx
ReplyDeleteBaubles look great very festive. I have just managed to finish knitting a Christmas scarf as a last minute gift and got it blocked and wrapped. Phew only just made it.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute, like an ornament cozy. I was thinking about crocheting some ornaments but I haven't started yet and I think it's going to be too late now. Maybe next year. There's always next Christmas, right? :)
ReplyDeleteThis is something I really want to do, but at the moment I am in full production of little crochet wreaths :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the link and your pretty ornaments! xx
Love these , beautiful colours, still to finish a Jemima Puddleduck , she needs her feet attached !
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful, the perfect gift for posting. I have finished all my Christmas crafting and baking, I am back to a crochet blanket for Honey for when she goes to Disneyland in Feb with a Minnie Mouse motif. Wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas and best wishes for the New Year.
ReplyDeleteThey look great! Happy Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThese baubles are pretty.... and fun to make! It is a lovely idea to send as a gift to a friend far away. Merry Christmas Jo!
