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 MORE 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. No advent set? No worries! Use leftovers of any fingering weight yarn. Your Baubles will be beautiful.

Day 21 is a simple textured cozy which is designed to be your swatch project. For best results, it 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 22 is a stranded bauble with a quintessential holiday motif.
Day 23 features columns of lace on a purl background.
Day 24’s offset cable twists will add a bit of elegance to your tree.

These bauble covers are designed to fit a 2.25 to 2.63” / 57 to 67 mm plastic ornament.

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!
