Thank you for this! I am brand new to crocheting (less than a month). The instructions were so easy to follow. I have made about a dozen so far. The repetition is helping me really learn the skills. The first one took me an embarassingly long time, but now I can make one in about 30 minutes. They will make great Christmas gifts!
I really hope I can do some of these! I had a neighbor ask me today if I could knit or crochet some Christmas ornaments for her. I am thankful to find your tutorials!
I LOVE this ornament and this pattern. I made mine out of the natural color of Sugar 'n Cream because I love working with cotton, so I made a few adjustments, and it worked out perfectly. The pattern is so easy to adjust. Thank you for the amazing tutorial. :)
May I ask what adjustments you made with the cotton yarn? I have a lot of cotton and acrylic yarn that I need to use before I go buy more yarn. Thanks.
Your tutorial is so easy to follow with great explanation. I have never crocheted before but bought the yarn you suggested and followed the tutorial step by step and I am so proud of my very first bauble! I’m excited to make more and I’ve got my eye on the simple basket as my next project. Thank you for giving me the confidence to give it a go!
I made this with just regular 4 yarn in a dusty rose colour… it turned out beautifully! Such a quick project! I wonder what this pattern would look like with macrame or a cotton cord… I may have to try it 🥰
What a fun project! I now understand why there is not one skein of Bernat Maker yarn, in these colors, available anywhere on the planet! Everyone will be making them! I used Bernat velvet and my small ornament came out perfect! There are gold topped ornaments on Amazon…in case spray painting them isn’t possible for someone.
@ Just a note…I’ve been digging out novelty yarns and other yarns with unique textures from my stash…playing with hook sizes and yarn combos…I’m addicted to making these ornaments! Wish I could show them to you…I love a fun project that makes up quickly, challenges my creativity and uses the skills I have already learned! Everyone in my family is getting their own personal ornament for Christmas this year! Thanks again for sharing this tutorial…you are a great teacher and very creative!
absolutely love this pattern!! thank you!! I'm using bernat velvet on 2.75" ornaments & changed the starting round to 5hdc. perfect fit & everyone loves them 🎄💗🤩
This was such a good tutorial! I've only crocheted a few Woobles, that's how I learned the basics, and this explains the new stitches I had to learn so well! I tested it out on my extra Wooble yarn just to make sure I could do it and I'm so excited to make some actual ones!
Great idea. I have bernat maker and have been looking for a unique project. This is it. Your detailed teaching instructions are so easy to follow. Thank you for using a stitch marker and showing us exactly where to place it. 😊
Thank you for making a tutorial that’s easy to follow and explaining everything so well. I really love these and want to learn to make some as gifts for my family.
Great tutorial, thank you. The yarns you chose are beautiful! I live in Scotland so can’t get the same yarns without spending a fortune on postage costs, so hope to find something equally as beautiful. I always make Christmas ornaments to add one to each person’s gift. Normally I choose one design to make but I have found a few this year that would be great for specific folks thatI think I am going to make individual ones this year as well as making a few for my own tree. This has been such beautiful one, thank you! 💖
I made this with a small tweak I couldn’t get the strike stitch to work for row 6 for me so I popped in a single crochet between and worked that way. Making these for teachers, I used heartland thick and quick with no issues. Same hook she used.
I have to make a trip to Hobby Lobby (Darn) Friday to get some clear Christmas bulbs. Thank you so much for sharing your pattern. I now know what I'm making for my family for Christmas they are going to love them.
I love how you added bows to some of them, so cute! My New Years resolution is to start making new Christmas decorations, and this will definitely be one of them! Thanks so much for sharing this video! 😊 PS, I love the country look with the khaki color and gray, but I have to say that my all time favorite one, is the 1970's green sparkle one. I one that likes things from the past😉
Totally Cool! 👍 And 1st ornament shown has a Joy tag on it! 🥰 Youngest child's name is Joy so I have a blast this time of year! 😉 Joy items abound! Thank you for sharing! The ornaments are BEAUTIFUL!!! 😍🤩😎🩷✌️🤘
Great tutorial, especially for a beginner like me 😊 Would you have any tips or suggestions using the flat ornaments?? That’s all I have on hand (they are glass - 2.75” & 4”). Thanks so much!
Thank you so much, I'm glad you're following along well! I'm not 100% sure without experimenting first, I'll probably try it next Christmas. Maybe a smaller stitch count??
OMG I just noticed you hold your working yarn the same as I do. So funny because every tutorial I watch people keep their finger out straight. I thought I was the only one haha.
Isn't a size 8mm hook too tight on this size 5 yarn? Just seems tight pushing the hook in. I normally use a Bernat Blanket size 6 and use a size 7mm hook
You're welcome, and yes, it's pretty flexible with just about anything, but you may need to make adjustments to the size and hook. I talk a little more about it in the written pattern on my blog: simplymadebyerin.com/2024/11/04/how-to-make-a-crochet-christmas-ball-ornament/
Thank you, it's pretty flexible with just about anything, you may try going up a hook size or two, if that doesn't work, you'll probably need to add a few increases to the hdc around the bottom.
I just love these and can’t wait to start making them!!!! I used the link you provided for wooden tags, but was unable to find them. Could you help me out as to the name of the company you ordered from? I would truly appreciate it.
These are sooo elegant too bad all i had was the ornaments that open up. No pretty tops but, I was still able to make them. I got to figure out a top. I might just glue a water bottle top spray painted gold on it. ♥♥♥♥♥
Thanks for a great tutorial. I tried it with a different yarn. Not quite as pretty as yours. Unfortunately the yarn you used in the tutorial is discontinued. I’ll try searching for something similar.
Is there away it can be done with tinier plastic ornaments? Or plastic ornaments in general? I have small ornaments leftover from a project I’d love to use up. 🙃 if not it’s fine I have an alternative idea
Yes, you can use whatever ornaments you have. I have a few suggestions on how to adjust the pattern on the written instructions on my blog: simplymadebyerin.com/2024/11/04/how-to-make-a-crochet-christmas-ball-ornament/
You're welcome, you can always try slowing the video down, that may help. Also, if you look at the written pattern on my blog it has photos: simplymadebyerin.com/2024/11/04/how-to-make-a-crochet-christmas-ball-ornament/
I bought the pattern from Etsy but I was wondering if there's a way of doing this with the chain method instead of the magic circle. I can never do a magic circle
Thank you, but it hasn't been discontinued, it's just out of stock in some colors. They rebranded this year, and will be restocking. It's a popular yarn and sells out often.
Hi there and thank you for following along! It's a magic circle, you can try slowing down the video at the bottom of the screen, or look up magic circle or ring on TH-cam.
Thank you for this! I am brand new to crocheting (less than a month). The instructions were so easy to follow. I have made about a dozen so far. The repetition is helping me really learn the skills. The first one took me an embarassingly long time, but now I can make one in about 30 minutes. They will make great Christmas gifts!
That is wonderful to hear! You're very welcome and congrats on your new crochet journey!!
I really hope I can do some of these! I had a neighbor ask me today if I could knit or crochet some Christmas ornaments for her. I am thankful to find your tutorials!
Thank you, glad it came at the right time!
People that don’t knit or crochet gave no clue the amount of time you spend or the expense. I just say No, unless it is my idea😬🤪
I LOVE this ornament and this pattern. I made mine out of the natural color of Sugar 'n Cream because I love working with cotton, so I made a few adjustments, and it worked out perfectly. The pattern is so easy to adjust. Thank you for the amazing tutorial. :)
Thank you so much, I bet it turned out wonderful!!
May I ask what adjustments you made with the cotton yarn? I have a lot of cotton and acrylic yarn that I need to use before I go buy more yarn. Thanks.
@@kathyemanuelson9315I would also like to know as a beginner who’s got cotton!
You are the best teacher, all directions were clear, I followed all. A Pleasure to listen to your instructions. You go girl!!
Aww, thank you for much, I really appreciate that!
Thank you for sharing your patern..so beautiful. It was very easy to follow your guidance..💝
Thank you for sharing the way you make a magic circle I found that to be the best and easiest way I've ever seen
I'm so glad it was helpful, I know there are so may different ways!

I'm so glad to hear that, how exciting, you'll be a pro in no time!! Check out my basket series, I have several made with Bernat Maker.
I made this with just regular 4 yarn in a dusty rose colour… it turned out beautifully! Such a quick project! I wonder what this pattern would look like with macrame or a cotton cord… I may have to try it 🥰

Thank you and yes, Bernat Maker is mostly sold out, such a bummer! I'm glad the velvet yarn turned out and thank you for the tip!

Love these!! I like giving ornaments as gifts, last year made beaded ones, this year crocheted! These will be included. Simple but beautiful
That is such a great idea, thank you!!
EXCELLENT tutorial! First video where I didn’t doze off.
Glad it was helpful!
I like your method of presentation - you are clear and precise
Thank you!
Love it! Quick and simple enough to make a bunch of them

Thank you, me too, I cant wait to get my tree out!

Beautiful and easy ornament! Thanks for sharing it with us. Blessings.
Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words!

@ That would be so adorable! I wish I could see them hanging when you are all done ☺️!
I'll try to post over on my Instagram, but I usually don't put my tree up until after Thanksgiving.
You make it look so easy and doable. Thanks for sharing. Off to making one😊

Just beautiful and smart thanks 🙏🏿 ❤❤❤❤
Thank you, you're very welcome!
I think I can do this! Thank you for the great video to go along with your instructions❤

Amei! ❤ Farei hoje mesmo. Obrigada pela belíssima arte!😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!
Thank you great tutorial very easy to follow ❤
You're very welcome!!
Love these! Too cute! Thank you! 😍
You are so welcome!
Really neat! I want to make some. Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome!
First time viewer. Very clear instructions!
Thank you, I'm so glad to hear that!
Those are so cute!
Thank you! 😊
OMG I just noticed you hold your working yarn the same as I do. So funny because every tutorial I watch people keep their finger out straight. I thought I was the only one haha.
That's so funny you noticed (others have too), I'm so scared I'm going to get arthritis!! I can't do it any other way.
I can't do it the other way either.
Just curious what you would sell these items for? I am trying to figure out pricing for an open house I am doing soon.
Isn't a size 8mm hook too tight on this size 5 yarn? Just seems tight pushing the hook in. I normally use a Bernat Blanket size 6 and use a size 7mm hook
I just love these!
Thank you!
Heel leuk patroon ,bedankt voor het filmpje
You're welcome!
It looks beautiful I have to try it
Thank you!
Great tutorial -working on my second!
Thank you and that's amazing, you'll have a tree full in no time!
Easy fun gift!!
Thank you!
Beautiful
Thank you!
Thank you for making a video so we can all make these. Can we make these with 4 ply yarn
You're welcome, and yes, it's pretty flexible with just about anything, but you may need to make adjustments to the size and hook. I talk a little more about it in the written pattern on my blog: simplymadebyerin.com/2024/11/04/how-to-make-a-crochet-christmas-ball-ornament/
Very cute! ❤
Thank you! 😊
Lovely. Thank you.
Thank you and you're welcome!
Could I use two strands of worsted to make up for the thickness? Can't find cream maker yarn anywhere. Lol
Yes, that should work too! It's really flexible to adjust with just about anything.
Lovely ornament, but i would like to know if can be use the size 4 ( worsen yard)
Thank you, it's pretty flexible with just about anything, you may try going up a hook size or two, if that doesn't work, you'll probably need to add a few increases to the hdc around the bottom.
I just love these and can’t wait to start making them!!!! I used the link you provided for wooden tags, but was unable to find them. Could you help me out as to the name of the company you ordered from? I would truly appreciate it.
Thank you so much, I hope you have fun making them! They're from Savlabot on Etsy, here's the link directly to her shop: creatoriq.cc/47HWKj9
@@SimplyMadebyErin THANK YOU!!! I have made so many of your items and love them all!!!
Awesome tutorial & looks great! Just curious - is there a reason you didn’t do decreases at the top?
Thank you, and yes, so I could fit it around the ball. Also, it wasn't really needed in this pattern.
Pretty
Thank you!
These are sooo elegant too bad all i had was the ornaments that open up. No pretty tops but, I was still able to make them. I got to figure out a top. I might just glue a water bottle top spray painted gold on it. ♥♥♥♥♥
I'm so glad you enjoyed the pattern!! I'm sure you can figure something out for the tops, maybe wrap some twine around it?
Very good ❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
Thanks for a great tutorial. I tried it with a different yarn. Not quite as pretty as yours. Unfortunately the yarn you used in the tutorial is discontinued. I’ll try searching for something similar.
You're welcome, and definitely check back for the Bernat Maker, it isn't discontinued, just very popular, so many colors are sold out right now.
That beautiful green velvet Hobby Lobby yarn is only 3.49 every other week. Next week is the next sale 💚💚💚
It's such a great deal and it's stunning, I made a bunch for my own tree!
@SimplyMadebyErin Nice!!! Love your tutorials btw!!!
Lycan very pretty color
Thank you, I love it too!
Is there away it can be done with tinier plastic ornaments? Or plastic ornaments in general? I have small ornaments leftover from a project I’d love to use up. 🙃 if not it’s fine I have an alternative idea
Yes, you can use whatever ornaments you have. I have a few suggestions on how to adjust the pattern on the written instructions on my blog: simplymadebyerin.com/2024/11/04/how-to-make-a-crochet-christmas-ball-ornament/
Do any adjustments need to be made to the pattern to accommodate left handed crochet?
I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with left handed crochet, so I'm really not sure. I'm thinking no, as its just a repeat all the way around.
Thanks for the video but i just could not follow the single and the spike stitch and the aritch is so pretty what sticrch can i do instead
You're welcome, you can always try slowing the video down, that may help. Also, if you look at the written pattern on my blog it has photos: simplymadebyerin.com/2024/11/04/how-to-make-a-crochet-christmas-ball-ornament/
Could you use bernat blanket yarn
Yes, that would look so pretty!
Does this work with the plastic Christmas balls too?
Yes, glass or plastic!
Magnifique de toutes beautés
Thank you!
How did you measure the baubles to get 8cm? I measured all the way around and I got 22cm
The measurements were on the packaging, I believe they give the diameter measurement, not the entire circumference.
Do you slip stitch at the end of each round?
No, a continuous round, you can mark with a stitch marker if you'd like.
Barnet maker yarn is it called tube yarn cause I cant find it
Yes, It's on Amazon, Yarnspirations, and JoAnn, unfortunately most colors are sold out right now.
Would love to be able to do this, moving to fast for me to follow .
You can slow the video down at the bottom of the screen.
I bought the pattern from Etsy but I was wondering if there's a way of doing this with the chain method instead of the magic circle. I can never do a magic circle
Try chaining 3 & slip stitch into the 1st stitch & work in that circle
Yes, you can, it should be listed in the pattern under round 1.
Yes, thank you, this is exactly what I state in the pattern!!
Que lindo !
Thank you!
What size is small, as in how many inches across is it?
The ornament before crocheting around it is 3.15 inches.
😍😍😍😍
Thanks!
❤
Thank you!
È possibile avere tutorial con traduzione in italiano?grazie mille
I'm sorry, it's only in English, I'm not sure how to translate.
FYI- Bernat Maker has been discontinued and is difficult to find in desired colors!
Thank you, but it hasn't been discontinued, it's just out of stock in some colors. They rebranded this year, and will be restocking. It's a popular yarn and sells out often.
@SimplyMadebyErin Wow- I read it on their website. Maybe they were just referring to a particular color instead?
Yes, the old line Bernat Maker Home Dec and those colors are discontinued.
I tried this but mine did not work out
I'm sorry to hear that, what part didn't work for you?
Bonjour es que c'est possible de traduire en français ? Merci
Sorry, It's in english only, I have no way to translate it.
😊👍
Thanks!
I have the pattern for this the only problem I have is you go to fast on the start of the ball. I need you to slow down on the start. Please
Hi there and thank you for following along! It's a magic circle, you can try slowing down the video at the bottom of the screen, or look up magic circle or ring on TH-cam.
😍😍😍😍😍
Thanks!
It just kept getting bigger.. didn't adjust to the ball form
Sounds like you'll need to adjust your gauge, maybe try a smaller hook.
... thank you
💖💖👍👍🙏🙏👍👍💖💖
Thanks!
❤️🤍💚
Thanks!
Can you make a video going slower
