What is a CAL?
Perhaps you have never participated in a Crochet Along before and you may be wondering what in the world I am talking about.
A Crochet Along (CAL) is essentially an event where you crochet along with other people creating the same project. A each part of the pattern is released bit by bit, and you work at the same pace as other participants.
Here are some examples of other CALs I’ve hosted in:
For this CAL, I have collaborated with Joanna of High Desert Yarn, to bring you 10 different, free Christmas bauble crochet patterns! So instead of one big pattern worked bit-by-bit, we’re offerin 10 mini patterns in a larger collection.
The patterns will be free on our blogs or you can purchase the pattern bundle.
Once you work up the pattern for that day, be sure you head over to the High Desert Yarn Handmade Community on FaceBook to share pictures or your WIPS and completes baubles. (I would normally say say pictures in the J&O Crochet Community FB group, BUT with the Mosaic Nordic CAL and the Monthly Mosaic Mystery CAL, ornament pictures might be too much! Lol).

A Peek at the Patterns
Stashbusting
All of these bauble patterns are meant to be “Stash Busting” patterns.
What does that mean? Well, instead of going out and buying new yarn, you simply use the yarn that you already have in your stash. I’m sure you can go to your stash and find some Christmasy or festive yarn that you’d like to use to make up your ornaments.
Yarn
All 10 patterns use worsted weight yarn and use roughly 35 yards, give or take.
I worked my first set of baubles up in red & green scrap yarn I had laying around,
Then I thought it would be fun to have a complete set (with Joanna’s included) worked up in a similar color-scheme. I had some left over Wander Acrylic yarn from Furls in different shades of green, so I used that stash to work up some more samples for my cute white Christmas Tree.
Purchase the Yarn
Hook
We used a 5mm/H hook for these baubles. You may have to adjust your hook size based on gauge & tension.
I have this lovely green Furls Odyssey in Emerald & Nickel. I love the way this hook feels in my hands.
Purchase the Hook
2.65” Clear Plastic Baubles
In addition to the yarn & hook, you will need a clear plastic bauble as an insert for your ornaments.
I got a 20 pack of 2.65” (diameter) clear plastic baubles from Hobby Lobby.
Here are some similar ones from Amazon.
