Gift Bauble crochet pattern

Hello and welcome to the second week of the Gift Mystery make-a-long. I can’t thank you enough for the warm welcome to the Gift Coaster revealed last week. I love seeing all the cute little coasters popping up in my social feeds. And I love how creative you are with picking the colors and yarns for this pattern. 

This week we are making a Gift Bauble. Because what a winter holiday make-a-long can be without a bauble, right? 

I chose an overlay crochet technique for this pattern, and you will have a chance to practice picots a lot! First, I used this textured stitch pattern for the cuffs of my Lola Cardigan, and since then I had this strong feeling to create something else fully covered with the picots. 

The Gift Bauble pattern comes with complete written instructions with step-by-step pictures to show the placement of all the stitches, and I have also recorded a video tutorial where I explain the basics of the overlay crochet. 

Good news is that you do not have to cut yarn after every round, but you will bring it up to the next rounds on the wrong side. And even if you use more colors and cut the yarn, all ends will be hidden inside the bauble, and you will not have to weave in tails. 

I used 4 colors for my baubles, each in a tiny amount. But you can pick more colors, if you like, or even crochet the Gift Bauble in one color only. 

This is on my to-do list as well. I am going to join you in this make-a-long and crochet a bauble or two in just one color. 

As I have already mentioned, the Gift Bauble crochet pattern is a part of a Gift Mystery make-a-long. If you have not joined it yet, you can grab an ebook from Ravelry HERE. 

The make-a-long is a mystery, it means new patterns will be revealed one by one and will be added to your Ravelry library on a weekly basis (always on Wednesdays). Altogether there will be 4 patterns. And the first pattern, Gift Coaster, was published last week. 

And if you own a copy of the ebook already, please refresh your Ravelry library and get the pattern. 

Hope you enjoy! And see you next week.
