Sprinkle a little Christmas magic this festive season and create some delightful hand-knitted ornaments. These cheerful baubles are sure to enhance your yuletide mood. Once you master the basic bauble you can interchange the stranded colourwork patterns and colours as you please. They make a lovely gift or decoration!
The baubles are knitted from the bottom up and then stuffed before closing the top. Stitches are then picked up on the top of the bauble to create a small i-cord which is sewn down for the hanging loop.
The pattern includes 6 twelve-stitch charts and one full 48-stitch chart plus some blanks for you to make your own!
