This pattern is only available in print, from Marianated Yarns. You may purchase it as part of a kit here, or as a single printed pattern here.

I was asked to design a bauble to celebrate my friend Marian’s 10th anniversary of her indie yarn dyeing business, Marianated Yarns.

This bauble also celebrates friendship and our shared love of dogs. To that end, all pattern proceeds will be donated to two charities - Dog Mountain in Vermont (Marian’s choice) and Caring for Creatures in Palmyra, VA (Stacey’s choice).

If this bauble does not make you want to dance around a little bit, I don’t know what will.

The bauble cover is designed to fit a 2.63” / 67 mm plastic ornament. For a few rounds, you will be creating your stitches with the plastic bauble nestled inside the knitted fabric. For your safety, please do not use a glass ornament to create this project!
