This pattern will guide you in creating a mesmerizing ornament cover with a 3mm crochet hook and fingering-weight yarn in multiple colors. Colorwork and textured stitches are worked in the round to create eye-catching depth and detail. You will crochet two half-spheres and join them by crocheting around an 83mm plastic fillable bauble for a seamless, polished look.

This satisfying project results in a handcrafted ornament that’s perfect for holiday decorating or gifting. My Crochet Christmas Ball pattern is a labor of love—the result of refining an ornament design that has delighted my friends and family for several years. It is my hope that you’ll enjoy making ornaments year after year your loved ones—and for yourself!
