Crochet Christmas Baubles

Make your Christmas tree special and unique with a set of crochet Christmas Baubles!

With today’s pattern, the Simple Christmas Baubles, I’d like to introduce a series of Amigurumi baubles.

All the patterns in this series share the same bauble pattern and size but are decorated in different ways to create a fun set for Christmas, which includes:

• Simple Bauble
• Gingerbread Man & Christmas Pudding Bauble
• Snowman Bauble
• Reindeer Bauble
• Gnome Bauble
• Bear Bauble

All these patterns will appear here on the blog in the coming days as part of my Christmas Ornaments Marathon CAL.
