The Christmas Heart Bauble is a beautiful crochet Christmas ornament! It features a colour worked heart in a simple design.

Hello Everyone and welcome to Rich Textures Crochet! This is day seven of the Seven Days of Christmas Baubles.  I’m not going to lie! Today’s free pattern is my favourite!

It’s true, I decided to save the bauble that I thought was best for last 🙂

The Design:

What do you think? For this Christmas Bauble I decided to go with some more traditional Christmas colours – a red and a gold.  This one is also worked in the Heartland yarn by Lion Brand.  Remember, though, you can use any worsted weight yarn of your choice!

The other six baubles also follow the same technique in the colour work and this one is also worked around a DIY Craft Bauble however you may decide to up-cycle and old one or fill it with fibre fill.  I have included the instructions in the pattern for you to do this.

  • Pattern is written in American English terms.
  • Pattern is worked in rounds.
  • Ch 1 at beginning of round does not count as stitch.
  • Weave in ends as needed.
  • Do not join at the ends of the rounds, instead use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch and move as work progresses.
  • Do not turn at the end of each round.
  • This pattern may be worked around a Christmas Bauble or without and then filled with a fibrefill afterward.
  • When colour is not in use, carry it behind the working yarn.

Written Pattern:

With Colour A, make a magic ring OR ch 4 and join with a sl st in the 1st ch to make a ring.

Rnd 1: Into the ring work 6 sc.  Do not join but use a stitch marker to mark the first st.  Move marker as work progresses. Do not turn.  (6 sts)

Rnd 2: In the blo, work 2 sc in each st all the way around.  (12 sts)

Rnd 3: In the blo, * 2 sc in the next st, sc in the next st, rpt from * all the way around. (18 sts)

Rnd 4: In the blo, * 2 sc in the next st, sc in each of the next 2 sts, rpt from * all the way around. (24 sts)

Rnd 5: In the blo, * 2 sc in the next st, sc in each of the next 3 sts, rpt from * all the way around. (30 sts)

Rnd 6: In the blo, * 2 sc in the next st, sc in each of the next 4 sts, rpt from * all the way around. (36 sts)

Rnd 7: In the blo, * 2 sc in the next st, sc in each of the next 5 sts, rpt from * all the way around. (42 sts)

Rnd 8: In the blo, * 2 sc in the next st, sc in each of the next 6 sts, rpt from * all the way around. (48 sts)

Rnds 9-19: Continue working in the blo, work the graph below beginning at row 1. Each square on the graph is equivalent to one sc, change the yarn colour as the need arises by completing the stitch prior with the new colour yarn (i.e. In the stitch prior to the stitch worked in the new colour, with colour A insert your hook in the next st and draw up a loop.  Drop colour A, pick up colour B and draw through the two loops on your hook completing the stitch, work the next st in the new colour).  Carry the non working yarn in behind the working yarn.  Do not join or turn at the end of each round.

Rnd 21: In the blo, * sc2tog, sc in each of the next 5 sts, rpt from * all the way around. (36 sts)

Rnd 26: In the blo, sc2tog all the way around.  Fasten off leaving a long tail (6 sts)
