Lightweight Through The Window Bauble Ornament
"This through the window bauble ornament pattern is worked in a fun stitch pattern that uses the mosaic crochet technique. Don’t let it scare you! It’s comprised of simple single crochet stitches, chains and easy double crochets. My favorite way to showcase this stitch pattern is with a variegated yarn underneath, and coordinating solid color on top. As for the filling, I've used styrofoam balls for mine, but you can also use fiber fill stuffing or old bauble ornaments that need a little uplifting."
