KNITTED CHRISTMAS BALL

WHAT YOU NEED:

GUIDE PINS 3, 4 & 5

KNITTING STRENGTH

25 stitches on needle size 3 = 10 cm

20 stitches on needle size 4 = 10 cm

15 stitches on needle size 6 = 10 cm

YARN

Whatever you use to achieve the knitting tension.

Fill – e.g. wadding, pillow filling or kapok

Approx. 45 cm ribbon for hanging – e.g. old gift ribbon or lace

DIFFICULTY LEVEL: BEGINNER/INTERMEDIATE

ABOUT THE WORK

The Christmas bauble is knitted back and forth on either needle 3, 4 or 5.
It is made in sets of 3, one on each needle size.

Increases are made by making one yarn over, from the wrong side. Knit the yarn overs twisted on the next row.

Before sewing the ball together, place a ribbon for hanging at the top of the ball.

The Christmas bauble is finished with a crocheted hanging/top.

Mix a lot of different yarns, knit stripes or knit the Christmas bauble in one color.
You can also string beads onto the yarn for a beautiful and festive effect.

You can mix all kinds of yarn as long as it is roughly the same thickness. If you can't reach the specified knitting tension, it doesn't matter, the ball will just be a little bigger or smaller. But it is important that the stitches are close together so that there are no large air holes in the stitches, because then you can see the filling inside the ball.
