About this design
The cover starts at the bottom from a magic ring, grows to 42 stitches, works the snowflake band and closes over the bauble, leaving its cap showing at the top. The band repeats every 7 stitches, so the snowflakes meet evenly round the back.
Two colours keep the carrying simple. Midnight blue and white is the classic pairing; red and white works just as well.
Good for
- Christmas tree decoration
- Advent make
- First tapestry in the round
How to make it
Tap Make this and the design opens in Bobble as your own project, with its colour palette, ready to make round by round in Make Mode.
How the cover is built: a flat base worked in rounds up to 42 stitches, a straight band of 11 rounds around the middle where the chart sits, then decrease rounds down to an opening of 12 stitches that the bauble's cap shows through. The chart is the band: one row of the chart for each round, read right to left every round, with its left and right edges meeting at the join.
UK terms. Each square is one double crochet (dc), worked over the colours you carry; in US terms, a single crochet (sc).
