Start with a Magic Ring:

• Wrap yarn around your finger.
• Insert the hook, grab the yarn on the left side, pull through, and make one chain, then another.
• You'll have your magic ring with two chains (not counting as a double crochet).

For Round 1:

• In the magic ring: Yarn over and make 12 double crochets.
• Pull on the tail to close the center.
• Slip stitch on top of the first double crochet, chain one, cut off your yarn, and pull up.

Save

Round 2 (Switch to Golden String):

• Slip stitch into the top of the first double crochet from the previous round.
• In this round, you will double the stitches to get 24. Do two single crochets in each stitch around.
• Slip stitch to the first single crochet, chain one, and pull up.

Save

Round 3:

• Use a new color yarn, slip stitch into the first single crochet, chain two (not counting as double crochet).
• One double crochet in each single crochet from the previous round.
• Hide the tails as you work by crocheting over them.
• Slip stitch to the first double crochet, chain one, end this yarn color.

Save

In Round 4:

• Return to using the golden string or alternative yarn.
• Start with a slip stitch in the first double crochet from the previous round, then one single crochet in the same stitch.
• For this round: two single crochets every other stitch, resulting in 36 single crochets.
• Slip stitch to the first single crochet, chain one, and pull up.

Save

Round 5:

• Attach a new color yarn on the next single crochet.
• Follow with normal double crochets all around, one per stitch.
• Slip stitch to join and chain one.

Save

Round 6:

• Single crochet around without increasing, maintaining the stitch count.
• This begins to form the sphere shape over the ornament.
• Slip stitch, chain one, and finish off this color.

Save

Further Rounds:

• If you need to make the cover larger, increase appropriately in the next round(s).
• Once reaching the desired size, start decreasing to fit the ornament snugly.

Final Decreasing Rounds:

• Start reducing by making decrease stitches (pull yarn through three loops on the hook) every other stitch to fit the ornament snugly.
• Continue with double crochets and decreases as needed to make sure the cover fits tight.

Finishing:

• Once you've achieved the right size and fit, finish off with a slip stitch and chain one.
• Cut the yarn, pull through, and weave in any loose ends.
• Optionally, add a string or wire at the top for hanging.
