About this design

Six trees stand round the band, each with a gold star, on a cream ground between two red stripes. The base and top are red, so the bauble reads red from above and below.

No round uses more than two colours, so the carrying stays light even with four colours in the pattern.

Good for

  • Christmas tree decoration
  • Advent make
  • A small gift

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 10 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).
