Juggling Ball

Lion Brand® Microspun

GAUGE:

20 sts + 36 rows = 4 inches [10 cm] in garter stitch (knit every row) BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

JUGGLING BALL

SIDE 1

With A, Cast on 10 sts. Knit until piece measures 2 inches.

Change to B. Knit until piece measures 4 inches

Change to C. Knit until piece measures 6 inches.

Bind off all sts.

SIDE 2

With D, Cast on 10 sts. Knit until piece measures 2 inches.

FINISHING:
Assemble the two pieces into a solid as shown (this item is assembled in the same way as a baseball or tennis ball.)

Thread yarn tail into the large-eyed, blunt needle. Sew all the edges shut except one

Note: When you join a knitted or crocheted piece, you do so on the right side so you can see how the finished seam will look.

Fill ball with stuffing through the edge that is still open.

Sew last edge closed

A bit big Reviewed by Kathie Dahly on 2009-01-05 ****
Great pattern for shape configuration and idea, but I found the balls to be a bit large. Maybe 1 3/4" by 1 3/4" would be better. They are easier to juggle when they are a bit smaller.
