Christmas Bauble no. 6 by Knao Knits
What is Being Made
Christmas Bauble no. 6 is a knitted decorative bauble designed as part of the It's beginning to look a lot like Knitmas collection by designer Naomi Lobley. This is a three-dimensional ornament intended for holiday decoration, with finished baubles measuring between 8.5cm (3.35") and 9cm (3.55") in diameter depending on the stitch pattern selected.
Craft and Techniques
This is a knitting project classified as intermediate difficulty. The bauble is constructed using fundamental knitting techniques including increases and cable work. The design employs multiple stitch patterns within the same collection, allowing crafters to create variation across different baubles while using identical yarn and needles.
Stitches Used
The pattern incorporates several stitch techniques:
- Stocking stitch – a foundational knit stitch pattern
- Moss stitch – a textured stitch variation
- Cable stitches – decorative twisted stitch elements
- Increases – shaping techniques to form the three-dimensional bauble structure
Materials and Tools
The bauble is designed to be worked on one set of 5 double-pointed knitting needles, enabling seamless circular knitting in the round. The project uses chunky weight yarn. The pattern provides specific tension requirements to achieve the correct finished size:
- Stocking stitch: 17 stitches and 22 rows per 10cm (4") square
- Moss stitch: 16 stitches and 28 rows per 10cm (4") square
Knitters may need to adjust needle size up or down based on individual tension to achieve the specified dimensions. The pattern notes particular care should be taken not to pull stitches too tightly, especially during increases and cable work, as this can result in a bauble that is too small.
Design Flexibility
While the pattern is designed around a specific yarn weight and needle size combination, crafters have the option to create baubles in entirely different sizes by substituting alternative yarn weights and corresponding needle sizes.
