Yuletide Bauble Ornament Cover Knitting Pattern

These colorwork bauble covers are the perfect way to practice the fair isle technique, use up scraps, and cover your tree in festive knits! Using shatter-proof baubles and covering them in a layer of wool makes your ornaments even more resistant to sabotage by cat, dog, or any small menace trying to attack your tree.
