I&#8217;ve had the idea of a set of tree decorations kicking about in the back of my mind for a couple of years now, but it suddenly coalesced into a real design idea a few weeks ago, and this is the result:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/baubles1.jpg\" alt=\"christmas baubles crochet pattern by planetjune\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/shop\/index.php?main_page=product_info&#038;cPath=20&#038;products_id=156\">Christmas Baubles<\/a>! My pattern includes 9 complete designs (3 plain baubles and 6 different patterned designs) that you can make in your favourite seasonal colour scheme, using 2 or more colours. I used white plus 2 shades of blue for mine; you could do a colour scheme as simple as traditional red and white, or brighten up your room while you use up your yarn scraps by making each ornament in a different colour scheme.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/baubles2.jpg\" alt=\"christmas baubles crochet pattern by planetjune\" \/><\/p>\n<p>By switching around the main and contrast colours in each design, you can create 18 different ornaments using only 2 colours of yarn. If you add a third shade (as I have for my samples), you can make 45 different ornaments! And (if I&#8217;ve added this up correctly) if you used 4 colours, you could make a mind-blowing 84 different ornaments with no repeats &#8211; wow!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/baubles3.jpg\" alt=\"christmas baubles crochet pattern by planetjune\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also included instructions on crocheting them all into a garland like this &#8211; wouldn&#8217;t that look great along the mantelpiece?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/baubles4.jpg\" alt=\"christmas baubles crochet pattern by planetjune\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I hope you like my bauble collection!
