This is a pattern for making a crochet cover for a christmas ball in mandala style. Most crochet mandala’s use a different stitch for each round, so this christmas ball cover has multiple stitches! It was so much fun to make them!

You can use all kinds of colors, and using metalic thread makes it even more festive!

Color suggestions:

• Christmas colors: white, red, green, yellow, silver or gold metalic.
• Delft Blue: white, all different shades of blue, silver metalic.
• Pastel: all different pastel shades, silver or gold metalic.
• Retro: yellow, orange, brown, beige, green, gold metalic.
