Creating handmade home decor is a great way to celebrate the holiday season. The Autumn Wheat Bauble Ornament crochet pattern by Briana K Designs will show you how to make stylish decorations. Use them to adorn your tree or as a special touch to gifts and spread the holiday cheer!
What Size Hook is Best for This Pattern?
You will need a 4 mm crochet hook to create the Autumn Wheat Bauble Ornament. This hook size corresponds with worsted-weight yarn and will allow you to make the stitches tight enough to hold shape yet loose enough to work easily.
For a different weight of yarn, use whatever hook is appropriate to obtain gauge and stretch around the plastic bauble.
Can I Use Leftover Yarn for This Project?
This crochet bauble ornament pattern is a great way to use leftover yarn. About 30 yards will be needed for a 2.64-inch ornament, so it works perfectly as a stash-busting project.
For the sample, the author used WeCrochet Upcycle, which is a nice soft blend of alpaca, wool, and acrylic — but any other yarn should work well, too.
How to Crochet the Autumn Wheat Bauble Ornament
This crochet bauble pattern is perfect for beginners since the ornament is worked flat. The project uses half double crochet in the third loop and the puff stitch, creating a beautiful textured braid motif.
Once the rectangle is ready, you whipstitch the sides together to form a cylinder. The plastic ornament is then inserted into the crocheted sleeve and finally closed at the top and the bottom.
Just a few steps and you have this gorgeous ornament ready to brighten up your home or maybe someone else’s!
