How To Make A Christmas Bauble Garland
To make a Christmas bauble garland start by gathering your materials.
You will need some Christmas baubles, yarn or ribbon - I used curling ribbon - and a crochet hook appropriate for your yarn.
For a single strand of curling ribbon I found my 3.5mm crochet hook was best.
I decided to use both my red and gold ribbons together which called for a 5.5 mm crochet hook.
It didn't take me long to realize my ribbons were turning into a big tangled mess. By laying them down in little boxes (a bowl would work too) I was able to wind the ribbon off the reels without tangling.
How to make your Christmas bauble garland.
Leave a long tail which you can curl later and make pretty.
To begin, crochet 8 stitches, slip stitch into the 7th stitch from the hook and slip stitch into the 8th stitch from the hook. This will give you a strong little loop to hang your garland from, I forgot to do this bit and had to add my loop later.
Crochet 25 chain stitches, add a bauble to your hook, yarn over.
Pull through both the bauble loop an the loop already on your hook.
Then continue to crochet as normal adding baubles as you go. I crocheted 15 chain stitches between my baubles but you may want more or less depending on the size of your baubles, hook and yarn.
The best part is a rather unexpected bonus. The baubles aren't running away and bouncing across the room any more!
Fabulous Stella!
