It’s Day 4 of the 12 Days of Crochet Christmas!
If you’re crocheting along and haven’t done so already, you’ll want to whip up an easy crochet gift tag to attach your applique to.
About the Pattern
This crochet Christmas bauble applique is worked in joined rounds.
The top is worked directly onto the bauble and I added a little hanging loop to complete it.
I kept my embellishments simple with a couple of stripes but feel free to get creative.

Gauge
Gauge is not important in this pattern. However, using a different yarn and hook size will change the size of the finished item.
