Aluk Christmas Balls are worked in the round from the center out. You begin by working a provisional cast on. Then you work the first half in stranded colour work according to chart – you will find five different patterns to choose from.
Decreases are made on the first half, and the end of yarn is drawn through the remaining stitches. Then you unralvel the provisional cast on to work the second half, which you finish in the same way as the first.
Finally you crochet a small loop to hang your christmas ball on the tree.
