I spotted some crochet garlands when I fell down an internet rabbit hole a few years ago, but I never got around to making them and I then got sidetracked by other things.  Then this year, I saw my friend Cheri from This Cottage Life making and selling some and I got the itch to make them.  I looked at a few different tutorials to get me started and then played around with techniques, designs, yarns, and hook sizes until I found a couple I liked.  So, in this post, I’ll share two different crochet bauble garland tutorials (a printed pattern and a video tutorial.)

bauble crochet garland tutorial no. one – chunky bauble

For this version of the bauble garland, you’ll need Lion WoolEase Thick & Quick yarn (or a similarly chunky yarn), scissors (THESE forged scissors are my favorite), and a 6.5mm crochet hook.  THESE are the ones I use in the video.

I ended up using this chunkier garland on both of my trees this year.  I mixed it with some wool pom-pom garlands I already had and I like the play on textures as well as the handmade element mixed with the storebought.

The great thing about this crochet bauble garland is it’s quick and easy to make and it’s perfect for those who are interested in learning to crochet or maybe want to dip a toe in.  The only real crochet stitch that is used is a chain stitch, which is just pulling the yarn through a loop.  The rest of the garland is made by wrapping the yarn over the hook and pulling it through.  It’s a great way to get comfortable with working with a crochet hook and yarn to see if you even want to move on to other crochet projects.  Here is the pattern for the chunky bauble crochet garland, but the video tutorial below will make things a lot clearer!

For the chunky bauble crochet garland, I used two skeins for a six-foot tree in my dining room and three skeins for the eight-foot tree in our living room.

For the second garland, you’ll need Lion Wool-Ease yarn (or something similar), scissors (THESE forged scissors are my favorite), and a 5mm crochet hook.  THESE are the ones I use in the video.  It is thinner but still has a fuzzy texture.  In the video tutorial, I show the bauble garland made with four different yarns as a comparison and I think yarns with a bit of fuzz look better.  I wanted to make this garland look more like a wool pom-pom garland with a bit of space between each bauble.  They are both very similar to make, but I just adjust the number of loops in the baubles and the number of chain stitches between each bauble.

You can find my tutorial for making the orange slice garland HERE.  I thought those two garlands looked sweet together.

Here is the printable tutorial for this smaller bauble crochet garland…

I always think it’s easier to follow a video of a crochet project instead of a written pattern or tutorial, so here is a video showing how to make both garlands as well as some additional tips…
