Pattern notes

The pattern is written using UK terminology, for a conversion chart to US terminology.

The baubles are worked in the round. You do not need to turn your work after each round and you continue working in the same direction as before.

[Stitches written in brackets like this are all worked into the same stitch.]

For the first stitch on each round: Chain 1 to move up to the next round if the round starts with double crochet. Chain 2 if the round starts with a half treble crochet, and chain 3 if the round starts with a treble crochet. These chains count as the first stitch in the row.

Start:

Make 2 halfs.

Foundation round: Work 6 dc into a mc.

Round 1: [2dc]. 6 times. (12)

Round 2: 1dc, [2dc]. 6 times. (18)

Round 3: dc around. (18)

Round 4: dc around. (18)

Round 5: Only work this round on one half. Dc around. (18).

Use the contrast colour yarn and an embroidery needle to sew a six armed snowflake on each half, according to the photos.

Then use whip stitch to join the two halves together with the foam bauble inbetween. Once you have sewn all the way round, use the tail to make a loop and sew in place.
