Holiday ornament ball pattern

Ornament Balls Knitting Pattern (PDF Download)

This festive ornament ball pattern is designed as a simple, repeatable base for showcasing colorwork motifs, initials, symbols, or charts of your own design. Knit seamlessly in the round, these ornament balls are perfect for holiday decorating, meaningful keepsakes, and personalized gifts.

The pattern walks you step-by-step through shaping a smooth, rounded ornament using straightforward increases and decreases, with a charted motif section sized to balance clarity and proportion. Finished ornaments measure approximately 3” high by 3.5” in diameter, making them substantial enough to display detail while still knitting up quickly.

Multiple hanging cord options are included—knit, crochet, braided, or twisted—so you can customize the final look to suit your style or yarn choice.

This pattern is ideal as a foundation for seasonal collections, themed motifs, or creative experimentation, and pairs beautifully with a wide range of yarn weights.
