This Christmas crochet ornament pattern turns plain baubles into festive decor or a thoughtful little gift. The Merry and Bright Ornament Cover is easy to make — worked flat from a simple rectangle in a pretty stitch, then wrapped around the ball and closed up.

I used leftover medium weight yarn held together with a metallic thread for a bit of sparkle, but these look just as lovely in a solid color, a variegated yarn, or a sparkle yarn on its own.

Written in 2 sizes, small and large, with full instructions for adjusting to fit any ornament you have. It’s a lovely way to give faded or plain baubles a whole new look — and a perfect excuse to use up those small amounts of festive yarn.
