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!

Are You Ready to Bauble?
How about making yourself or a friend a sweet set of 4 Baubles- one lace, one textured, one cabled and one stranded?
Samples were knit using Emma’s Yarn Practically Perfect Smalls in Yellow Submarine, Sweet Magnolia, It’s Not Easy being Green, Trendy AF and Love + Leche

Bauble A 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.
Bauble B is a dainty lace piece.
Bauble C features a unique cable that I am just smitten with!
Bauble D’s swirly vertical stranded motif will tempt you to make more than just one!

These bauble covers are designed to fit a 2.63” / 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!
