I’m super excited to invite you to the fifth annual Bauble Along! We will be celebrating our love of baubles from November 12 through January 6th. Sign up here!

12 Days of Baubles Part 3 features four more quick and fun bauble cozies perfect for gifting or decorating your own tree. A variety of techniques ensures that you can use this pattern on all the yarns in your advent set, whether they be speckled, solid, variegated or striped.

Day 9 is a reverse stockinette bauble cover for swatching. (Don’t worry about the purling- it’s knit inside out!) The swatch cozy should be worked first. If you find that the row or stitch gauge is off, or you do not like the fabric that is produced, adjust your needle size to knit the remaining bauble covers.
Day 10 is a combines ribbing and a band of eyelet lace.
Day 11 has the sweetest fir tree lace pattern around its midsection. It’s my favorite of the whole collection.
Day 12 features an eye-catching alternating cable pattern.

These bauble covers are designed to fit a 2 to 2.63” / 51 to 67 mm plastic ornament. I found the ornaments at my local A.C. Moore store.
For a few rounds, you will be creating your stitches with the plastic bauble nestled inside the knitted fabric. For your safety, please do not use a glass ornament to create this project!
