Chunky Knitted chocolate orange/bathbomb cover Christmas Bauble Ornament 10cm tall. The bauble can be knitted in an evening. Medium to hard pattern, knitted on 4 double pointed needles, with easy to follow pattern and guidelines. Knitted in the round on 4 double pointed needles using stocking stitch.

I have used Chunky tinsel Kingcole wool with throughout in 50g balls for main colour with gold or silver Ricorumi Lame gold or silver 10g yarn for the clasp.

Bauble can hang on a tree (empty or with lightweight fillings) or make a lovely gift or table decoration.

These baubles make a great gift or charity knit. Ideal little quick knits for fundraising

They are easily worked over an evening using very little yarn - two baubles at least can be achieved from one ball of wool.

Materials:

1 ball King Cole Tinsel chinky 50g wool (should be enough to make 2 baubles)

1 ball silver or gold Ricorumi Lamé 10g yarn

4 x double pointed 3mm needles (although size 6mm recommended for this wool,

using smaller needles makes the stitches tighter with less gapping.)

One row/rnd marker

1x darning needle for sewing down top and joining ribbon/pipe cleaner

1x needle threader (not essential)

23cms Narrow gold or silver ribbon (preferably with wire in so it stands up on its own) or gold/silver pipecleaner
