Crochet Ball Pattern

Good morning!

I found a pattern for a cute little crinkly ball and couldn’t wait to get out my hook and yarn and get to work! I made this little ball for one of my sweet nephews who is here for a visit. It didn’t take very long, so I will probably make a couple more for him.

The yarn I used was Peaches & Cream and I just stuffed it with a couple of plastic shopping bags (you know, the kind that you get by the thousands when you go shopping).

Anyway, here is the pattern!

Hook size “H”

Cotton Yarn (1 ball)

Stitch Marker

Yarn Needle

Stuffing:  2 plastic shopping bags

ch=chain

sc=single crochet

st=stitch

sc2tog=single crochet 2 together (insert hook in next stitch, yo, pull up a loop, insert hook in next stitch, yo, pull up a loop, yo, pull through all 3 loops on hook)

Round 1:  ch 2, 6sc in 2^nd ch from hook.

*Beginning with Round 2, place your marker in the first stitch of each round.*

Round 2:  2 sc in each sc

Round 3:  (2 sc in next st, sc in next st) around

Round 4:  (sc in next 2 st, 2 sc in next st) around

Round 5:  Repeat Round 4

Round 6:  sc in each st

Rounds 7-12:  Repeat Round 6

Round 13:  (sc2tog, sc in next 2 st) around

Round 14:  (sc2tog, sc in next st) around

*Stuff with bags*

Round 15:  sc2tog around

Round 16:  Repeat Round 15

Finishing:  Leave 6 inches of yarn and fasten off, then weave it through the opening using the yarn needle.

Enjoy!
