About this design
Three sprigs go round the band, one every 14 stitches, between two red stripes. The base and top are plain cream, so the colourwork is the 10 band rounds only.
The berries are the only rounds with three colours. Carry the red only across those rounds and leave it at the back of the work elsewhere.
Good for
- Christmas tree decoration
- Table decoration
- A small gift
How to make it
Tap Make this and the design opens in Bobble as your own project, with its colour palette, ready to make round by round in Make Mode.
How the cover is built: a flat base worked in rounds up to 42 stitches, a straight band of 10 rounds around the middle where the chart sits, then decrease rounds down to an opening of 12 stitches that the bauble's cap shows through. The chart is the band: one row of the chart for each round, read right to left every round, with its left and right edges meeting at the join.
UK terms. Each square is one double crochet (dc), worked over the colours you carry; in US terms, a single crochet (sc).
