Designed to be quick, beginner-friendly, and budget-conscious, each bauble uses just 36 yards of DK weight yarn. You’ll add safety eyes and a touch of toy stuffing to give the coal and orange their cute expressions and squishy charm. The finished ornaments are the perfect size for hanging, gifting, or adding to holiday garlands.
This pattern is ideal for new crocheters or anyone looking for a fast and festive make. With simple stitches and clear instructions, you can whip up a whole batch in an evening.
Choose traditional black for the “coal” and a bright citrus shade for the “orange”, or switch it up with whimsical colors to match your décor or gifting theme.
Handmade ornaments add such a meaningful touch to the holidays, and these charming little characters are sure to become favorites year after year. Gift them to friends, family, teachers, or coworkers. Or attach one to a wrapped present or bottle for a fun extra surprise. Whether naughty or nice, everyone will adore receiving one of these sweet, seasonal baubles.
