Christmas Bauble Crochet Pattern
Materials
DK weight yarn in red, black, yellow and light grey (I used Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK in Pillar Red, Pure Black, Mustard Yellow and Stormy Grey)

Polyester fiberfill
Yarn/twine for hanging
Stitch marker, yarn needle, scissors

st/s – stitch/es

Finished Size
The finished Christmas bauble measures approximately 2″ x 2″ (5cm x 5cm) not including the bauble cap. Size may vary depending on tension and materials used.
Gauge
Gauge is not important in this pattern. Use a hook size to match your chosen yarn. Make sure that your stitches are tight enough to prevent stuffing showing through and adjust hook size if necessary.
Notes
Pieces are worked in a continuous spiral starting with a magic ring unless otherwise specified. Mark the first stitch of each round with a removable stitch marker.
