The Nut Shape Christmas Bauble is a quick and easy crochet pattern, perfect as one of those last minute festive projects.

It will help if you have experience of crocheting in the round, however the pattern is written in such a way to make it simple for beginner crocheters to follow along too.

The pattern is available for free on my blog here. However, if you’d prefer the ad-free version as a PDF download, this can be purchased from my Ravelry store.

Materials Needed

  • Yarn: DK cotton yarn. I used Rico Design Ricorumi DK in the following colours: Yellow (1 gram = 2.3 m/ 2.5 yds) and Red (11 grams = 25.5 m/ 28 yds).
  • Crochet hook: Size 2.5mm (or 2.75mm/C in the US will work as well)
  • Other materials: Stuffing, needle, scissors, stitch marker

Christmas Bauble Size

With the yarn and hook mentioned above, the Nut Shape Christmas Bauble turned out to be approximately 11cm/4.3” high (excluding the hanging yarn thread) by 5cm/2” wide. Please note the size of your make will vary depending on your hook size, the yarn you use, and your tension/gauge.

Gauge

Gauge is not required for this pattern, however for reference my gauge was as follows:

7 sc stitches on 2.5 cm / 1 “
7 rows on 2.5 cm / 1 “

Additional Information

  • Pattern language: English
  • Pattern terms: US terms
  • Stitches used: Magic circle, sc, increases, decreases, crocheting in BLO
  • Yarn: The yarn choice is completely up to you, and you can change the yarn weight, material, and colours based on your own personal preference. Just be aware that the weight of your yarn may impact the hook size you need to use and also the size of your final make.
  • Hook size: I recommend using a smaller hook size than recommended on the yarn label. This will stop the stuffing appearing through your stitches.
  • Working in rounds: All parts within this pattern are worked in continuous rounds unless otherwise stated.
  • No sew project: Other than for weaving in your yarn ends and adding the string, this is a no sew crochet project.
  • Copyright: You are more than welcome to sell your crocheted creations using this pattern on a small scale. However, the pattern itself cannot be reproduced, sold, or redistributed in any way without the designers’ consent.
