Tip:

Use metallic or shimmering yarn to add a festive sparkle to your Granny Circle Baubles.

Materials Needed:

• Yarn: Number 4 medium worsted weight yarn in four colors. The example uses earthy tones and accent colors.
• Crochet Hook: 3.25 mm hook (such as Clover Amour).
• Others: Bent tip needle, mini Patchwork scissors, and velvet ribbon (3/8 of an inch wide for handles).

Pattern Overview:

Color Key:

• Color 1: Creamish color (center)
• Color 2: Dark green (first round of clusters)
• Color 3 and 4: Used in subsequent rounds

Beginning The Pattern :

Foundation and Round 1:

• Start with a slip knot.
• Chain 6, slip stitch into the first chain to form a loop.
• Chain 2 (counts as first double crochet), then make 2 double crochets into the loop (first cluster).
• Chain 1, then make three double crochets into the loop for the second cluster. Repeat until you have five clusters in total with a chain-1 space between them.

• Slip stitch to the top of the starting chain-2 to close the round.

After Round 2: Join Color 2:

• Join color 2 in a chain space opposite of the fasten-off point.
• Chain 2 (counts as the first double crochet), then make two more double crochets into the same chain space.
• Chain 1, then make three double crochets into the same space (completing a double cluster).
• Repeat this process in each chain space around, creating a total of five double clusters with a chain-1 space between them.

• Slip stitch to the top of the starting chain-2 to close the round.

Round 3: Join Color 3:

• Join color 3 in a chain space opposite of where you fastened off color 2.
• Chain 2, then make two more double crochets into the same chain space.
• Repeat the process of creating clusters in each chain space around, but without increasing. This will make the sides start to curl in, creating a cup shape.

Round 4: Join Color 4:

• Using color 4, crochet in every stitch around (including chain spaces), matching the crochet style (i.e., double crochets) from the previous rounds.
• This creates a defined cup shape. If the ornament or ball you’re covering is larger or smaller, adjust by adding or reducing rounds or stitches.

Assembly:

• After completing the crochet work, cut about 20 inches of yarn in color 1 for seaming.
• Hold two crocheted pieces together, and using a darning needle, seam them together with a whip stitch or mattress stitch.
• Leave an opening at the top for the ornament insert.
• Insert the ornament.

• Finish seaming, then create and attach a velvet ribbon handle as desired.

Finishing Touches:

• Trim any excess yarn tails and secure them.
• Decorate or personalize as desired.
