Giant Pokeball

Like I even know what that is. A certain 7 year old is obsessed with Pokemon and is really quite knowledgeable about the whole thing. Most of the time I have no clue what she is talking about. I have picked up on some of it enough to know that she would really like this. She keeps in on her bed as a throw pillow! There was not a pattern but here is the gist:

• With red, crochet in the round until you have 16 stitches between the increases.
• Single crochet 12 rows
• Switch to black and sc 2-3 rows (I did three but looking back 2 would have worked)
• Stitch to white and sc for 12 rows
• Decrease starting with 16 stitches in between the decreases. SCTOG until the hole is closed.
• Don't forget to stuff before you close up the hole and you may want to sew on your "button" while you get get your hands in ball. The best place for the button if where you change colors so they become hidden and seamless.
• For the "button", crochet in the round with black until you feel the size is good, Then make another one in white that is a little smaller and attach to ball.
