Needing a christmas pattern

[SnoAngel]

My mom and dad need new ornaments for their tree this year and I said I would try and crochet something. What I am wanting is like a glass ball jacket or cover. But something simple and fairly quick. I had done one but they take forever and I just don't have that much time to do them. Does anyone have an easy but pretty pattern?

only thing I think of is the snowflakes that you wrap around them.
might be something in here

You could always super starch little snowflakes. They look beautiful on the tree.

you can also look at CPC, they have some if I remember correctly.
Hope this helps,

Like this (http://www.wrights.com/wrights/class/needlework/croornamcover2/croornamcover2.htm) Golden one??


or this (http://www.wrights.com/wrights/class/needlework/croornamcover1/croornamcover1.htm) Lovely green number??

Found more they call this (http://pandacrochet.8m.com/ornaments.html) one a satin ball cover

this (http://members.aol.com/lffunt/victball.htm) is called Victorian

Yarn one (http://members.aol.com/crochettalk2/ballcover.htm) might take less time

these (http://members.aol.com/lffunt/nballs.html) take an N hook that should be fastest off all!

Use this link (http://home.inreach.com/marthac/chris.html) scroll down to Christmas Balls they list 13 of them
