Velvet Baubles - Make these decadent decorations for your tree, Christmas Cal...
Well hello everyone. This is the last addition to the Christmas craft along this year and is so quick and easy you can make it in a matter of minutes. What better way to finish our craft along than with something pretty to hang on your tree. I have loved using the Bernat Velvet yarn so much and this is the perfect way to use up those last scraps of yarn.
Velvet Baubles
Materials
Bernat Velvet (small amounts)
Darning needle
60mm bauble
Stitch marker
Ribbon
Hook
6mm (J)
Abbreviations US Terms (UK Conversion)
sc - single crochet (double crochet)
sc2tog - single crochet 2 together (double crochet 2 together)
ch - chain
st(s) - stitch(es)
pm - place marker
Other notes: Velvet Baubles are worked in a spiral,
do not join. Move marker up at the end of each round.
Starting with a magic loop
Round 1 ch1 (does not count as st), 6sc into
ring. Pull tight but do not join. Pm in 1st sc.
Round 2 Starting in the first sc from previous
round, 2sc in each stitch around (12sc)
Round 3 [2 sc in first stitch, sc in next st]
repeat around (18sc)
Round 4 [2sc in first stitch, sc in next 2 sts]
repeat around (24sc)
Rounds 5-7 Sc in each st around.
Round 8 [sc2tog, sc2] repeat around. (18sc)
Now comes the tricky part.
Stretch your crochet over the plastic ball and continue to work
around.
Round 9 [sc2tog, sc1] repeat around. (12sc)
Round 10 [sc2tog] repeat around. (6sc)
Bind off, leaving a long tail and thread yarn onto a sewing
needle. Work your yarn under each stitch and pull tight. I find it
easier to pop off the top of the bauble to do this. Bind off hiding yarn
inside the crochet.
Replace
the top of your bauble and hot glue if necessary. Add some ribbon and hang on your tree…
Pin it for later...
I hope you enjoyed the pattern and have a wonderful Christmas.
