BEFORE STARTING…
This guide will accompany you every step of the way to successfully complete your project. It includes detailed instructions, a chart, and a video tutorial for creating the Pandora Bauble.
We will start by crocheting a simple rectangle, making it an ideal project, even for beginners. Once we reach the desired size, we will join the edges with an invisible seam.
Next, we will close the bottom and place a polystyrene ball inside. To finish, we will close the top while adding the decorative cord.
The result is a piece with dense texture and volume, perfect as a Christmas decoration or to surprise someone with a personalized gift.
