Tiny Poke'ball



Abbreviations- sc (single crochet), st (stitch), sts (stitches), sc dec (single crochet decrease), F/O (finish off)
Crochet Hook Size- G
Finished Measurements with using G hook- 2 inches tall and wide, 5 ½ inches circumference.
Materials needed: Red Heart Super Saver Red (Color A), Black (Color B) and White (Color C). Black and white basic felt, scissors, a yarn needle, sewing needle and thread for sewing the button on.

With color A (red) use the adjustable ring/circle method to work in the round and single crochet 6 stitches into the ring/circle. Then start with round one.
R1: 2 sc in each st (12)
R2: *sc in next st, 2 sc in next st… rep from * (18)
R3: sc in all sts (18) [switch to Color B (black) in last stitch]
R4: sc in all sts (18) [switch to Color C (white) in last stitch]
R5: sc in all sts (18)
R6: *sc in next st, sc dec in next 2 sts… rep from * (12)
R7: sc dec in all sts (6)

Stuff Poke’ball with desired filling. I used fiberfill.

Sc dec until Poke’ball is closed (F/O). Also, pull the starting end of the yarn to tighten the ring/circle at the top of the poke’ball.

Weave in all ends with the yarn needle or crochet hook (stuff them into the poke’ball to hide them).

As for the little loop created at the top by using the adjustable rind/circle method, insert the hook into any spot on the poke’ball and then through the top of the poke’ball where the loop is, and pull the loop into the poke’ball.

Now the last steps are for creating the button out of felt

Step 1: Cut one circle out of each colored felt, making the black circle slightly larger.
Step 2: Now, sew the white circle to the black circle with your sewing needle and thread.
Step 3: Sew the black part of the button to the appropriate spot on the Poke’ball. I sewed it to the opposite side of where I made the color changes of the yarn.

You’re finished!  J
