Stuff Poke’ball with desired filling. I used fiberfill.
Sc dec until Poke’ball is closed.
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
