I’m super excited to invite you to the sixth annual Bauble Along! We will be celebrating our love of baubles from November 12 through January 6th. Sign up here!

Introducing Mountain Pose Bauble, a fun ornament that takes just an afternoon to complete. Be warned, though, Bauble making is habit-forming! The combination of quick reward and adorable finished object make them hard to resist.

This bauble was designed in collaboration with The Traveling Yarn Yogi, using their exclusive colorway of Forbidden Fiber Co. Gluttony Sock yarn. It knits up for me at a sport/light DK weight, so be aware of gauge if you are substituting other yarn.

The ornament is knit top down, starting with a rolled turtleneck collar. After finishing the increases, you’ll work 24 rounds of pattern before starting the decreases.

The bauble cover is designed to fit a 2.63” / 67 mm diameter plastic ornament. For the last 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!
