Stitches used and abbreviations
- sk = skip
- ch = chain
- st/sts = stitch/stitches
- sl st = slip stitch
- yo = yarn over
- hdc = half double crochet
- hdc 3rd loop = half double crochet 3rd loop only
- hdc dec = half double crochet decrease
Half Double Crochet 3rd Loop Only (hdc 3rd loop)
Work a hdc as normal, except insert your hook into the very back loop (the third loop).
Half Double Crochet Decrease (hdc dec)
This is my version of the hdc dec, specifically for this pattern as a traditional hdc dec is a bit too thick.
*to make a hdc dec: yo, insert hook into st and pull up a loop. Immediately insert hook into next st and pull up a loop. 4 loops on hook. Yo and pull through all 4 loops. First hdc dec is made.
Gauge
At the end of Round 4, it should measure 3″ across.

Make a magic circle. Ch 1.
Round 1: work 9 hdc in circle, join with sl st to first st, ch 1. (9 hdc)
Round 2: work 2 hdc in each st around join with sl st to first st, ch 1. (18 hdc)
Round 3: work 2 hdc in first st, 1 hdc in next st. [2 hdc in next st, 1 hdc in next st], repeat from [ to ] around, join with sl st to first st, ch 1. (27 hdc)
Round 4: work 2 hdc in first st, 1 hdc in each of next 2 sts. [2 hdc in next st, 1 hdc in each of next 2 sts], repeat from [ to ] around, join with sl st to first st, ch 2 (does not count as a st). (36 hdc)
Round 5: skip first st (st that ch 2 is in), dc in 3rd loop of next st, dc in 3rd loop of skipped st, [sk next st, dc in 3rd loop of next st, dc in 3rd loop of skipped st], repeat from [ to ] around, join with sl st in first st, ch 1. (18 crossed sts)

Rounds 7-9: Repeat Round 5 & 6 ending with Round 5.
Insert bauble into cover.
Decreasing rounds:
At this point, I really wasn’t counting stitches. I inserted my bauble and worked hdc dec all the way around until I was up to the top of the bauble. So here are the instructions:
[Work a hdc dec over the next 2 sts], repeat from [ to ] around. Continue to work a hdc dec over 2 sts all the way around until you have reached the top and cannot make any more sts.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
