This easy project came to me today. Contrasting textures make it a bit special and add a hint of handmade to the generic Xmas baubles.
What will you need:
2.5mm crochet hook
8 ply yarn any colour of choice
Store bought Xmas baubles of choice. I used ones that are about 4cm in diameter. You could use any kind of course.

How:
Attach yarn to hook using a slip knot. Do 35 chain stitches with the yarn still attached to the hook put the hook through the hole of the top of the bauble. Do yarn over and bring the yarn back through to the front of the hole, yarn over through 2 threads on the hook to leave 1thread , this is a double crochet.
So:
35 chain + double crochet to attach + 35 chain+ double crochet to attach + 35 and so on and so on. Do this until you are happy with the length. Once you are finished cut yarn and pull it through the stitch to create a knot.
