Bauble of Love
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!
Here’s a sweet little Bauble to share with your favorite person on Valentine’s Day. Or maybe you’ll opt to make a bunch of them to hang on a garland or tree to make things a bit more festive in February. Either way, it will be a Bauble of Love!
The ornament is knit top down, starting with an adorable, rolled turtleneck collar. After finishing the increases, you’ll work 20 rounds of stranded knitting before starting the decreases.
The bauble cover is designed to fit a 2.63” / 67 mm plastic ornament. For the last 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!
