This little Christmas Bauble is knitted two-stranded in the round on dpns. The motif depicts snow and snowflakes with the numbers 2024 central on the bauble, and it has a ribbon attached to the top for hanging. For these I’ve used fibre filling, but you may also knit on to a plastic or glass bauble.

The pattern is both written and charted, and uses Lifted Increases (but other increases may be used), and k2tog/SSK for decreases. The pattern is written for dpns, but if you’re more comfortable knitting on magic loop, that’s works too.
