Notes

This pattern is written using UK crochet terminology. The pattern is using 5 different colours however you can change the yarn every round or use the same colour throughout, and weave some tinsel though at the end to add some flourish to the bauble.

Pattern

Round 1: Ch4 then work 11tr into the first st and slst to the top of the ch3 [12]

Round 2: Ch3 then tr in the same stitch, 2tr in the next 11sts, then slst to top of ch3, fasten off [24]

Attach the next colour onto the opposite from where you fastened off. This will help to even out the joints and hide them in the pattern.

Round 3: Ch3, tr in same stitch, fptr in the next stitch *2tr, fptr* 11 times, slst to top of ch3 (36)

Now we only want to fptr in an existing fptr, which will then give us the raised line effect. We will just be repeating and not increasing in the next couple of rounds

Round 4: Ch3, tr in next stitch, then fptr in the fptr below. *tr in the next 2 sts, fptr* 11 times, then slst to top of ch3, fasten off (36)

Attach next colour yarn at the other side to where you fastened off. Work into a stitch to the left of a fptr stitch

Round 5: Ch3, tr in next stitch, then fptr in the fptr below. *tr in the next 2 sts, fptr* 11 times, then slst to top of ch3, fasten off (36)

Round 6: repeat round 5

Attach new yarn through any fptr. Place your bauble inside your work, as we will begin to decrease and it may get harder to do so after this round.

Round 7: ch3 in fptr, dec in next 2tr, *fptr, dec* 11 times, slst to top of ch3 and fasten off.

Attach new yarn through any fptr.

Round 8: ch3 in fptr, tr *fptr, tr* 11 times, slst to top of ch3 and fasten off.

Round 9: chain 1 then dec starting in the same stitch, dec 11 times.

Round 10: chain 1 then dec starting in the same stitch, dec 11 times and fasten off. Use your crochet hook to tuck the end securely between the bauble and the crocheted cover.
