Crochet a cute bear Christmas bauble to decorate your Christmas tree and home for the Holidays!
A couple of years ago, I shared a set of Christmas baubles with 6 different patterns. And ever since I shared the set, I knew I wanted to add a few more patterns to it.
The bear was one of the patterns that I really wanted to add to my Christmas baubles and I’m so happy to finally share the free pattern here on the blog!
Moreover, I now updated the Christmas baubles set, which now has seven fun patterns for an extra special Christmas tree! The patterns are:
- Simple Bauble
- Gingerbread Man & Christmas Pudding
- Snowman Bauble
- Reindeer Bauble
- Gnome Bauble
- Bear Bauble
Feel free to crochet this bear bauble with some brown yarn for a brown bear or with white and grey for a super Christmassy polar bear!
