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.

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.
