Christmas Bauble with Hearts

"The Christmas bauble is made by creating two identical halves first, starting with making the heart on each half. One finished making the halves they are crocheted together using a zigzag stitch, a variation of the braided stitch. The yarn that was used is Knitpicks dishie yarn and a 3.5mm hook and an ornament with 3inches in diameter is needed. I designed the pattern myself and published it for free on my website www.nickishomemadecrafts.com The post also includes photos and a video tutorial that help you recreate this beautiful ornament."
