12 Cozy Days of Baubles eBook

12 Cozy Days of Baubles features 12 quick and fun baubles perfect for gifting or decorating your own tree. A variety of techniques ensures that you can use this pattern on different types of yarn, from commercial, to hand dyed, to handspun. I knit my samples using Marianated Yarns Practicality sock yarn, a 75/25 superwash merino and nylon blend. The 10-gram Lynette mini skeins are the perfect size for each Bauble.

Day 1 is a textured cozy intended to be your swatch project. For best results, it should be worked first. If you find that the row or stitch gauge is off, or you do not like the fabric that is produced, adjust your needle size to knit the remaining bauble covers.
Day 2 has a lovely vertical lace motif inspired by a Japanese design.
Day 3 features a knitter favorite, chevrons, but stranded.
Day 4’s cable fir trees are ready to decorate!
Day 5 is another textured cozy ideally suited to be your swatch project.
Day 6 is an ode to my love of leaf lace.
Day 7’s stranded design was inspired by chandeliers.
Day 8 features a unique lineiform cable.
Day 9 is a tilted textured cozy, so much fun!
Day 10 is cozy like puppy kisses!
Day 11 features a stranded Christmas tree farm!
Day 12’s cable twists remind me of shifting sands.
