oh that's hilarious I am using a size F 3.5 millimeter
crochet hook and 4-ply yarn I was going to use yellow however yellow was arguing
with the camera and light source today so I will be using orange instead we
will need some sort of stuffing for the center over ball and this time I'm just
going to use some scraps here that I've been playing around with I'm not going
to use any fiberfill I'm just going to use yarn and this is just some stuff
I've been playing around with and seeing how well acrylic felts and I've even
made some goofy little things out of a combination of wool and acrylic yarn but
what I'm going to do is use this for my stuffing
I'm going to attach the yarn to the hook and work a chain of three one two three
join with the beginning chain joining is putting your hook through the first
chain wrap the yarn over pull through pull through the loop on the hook we
have joined our chain adore ring we will be working nine single crochet through
the chain I'm going to work a chain one and then work nine single crochet and
I'm putting my hook right through the center
one two three
four five six
seven
eight
9 we have completed our first round and it is a little bit tight working with
the smaller crochet hook that is what I wanted with this particular project so
the fabric created by the stitches would be closer together now I'm going to work
the continual around and this is just going on ahead I'm not joining I'm just
working through the top of the first stitch and I'm working to single crochet
through the top of the first stitch and in each stitch around for a total of 18
on round 2 I've completed two stitches and I'm putting my hook right below the
two loops at the top of the stitch three
four five six
seven eight
9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 this is what we have completed through round 2
and you may want to attach a stitch marker or yarn marker of some sort to
identify your first stitch now it doesn't have to be perfect because this
is one of those projects that is flexible so if you're off a stitch or
two it's still probably going to work out if you're new to crochet you may
want to have an idea where the first stitch is out round three is going to be
one single crochet in each stitch around for a total of 18 one two three four
five six seven eight nine 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 we have completed round
three round four is going to be an increase round so we are going to work
one single crochet in the first stitch two in the next stitch and I'm still
working right below the two loops at the top of the stitch that's one and I'm
putting my hook in the same stitch wrap the yarn over pull through I've
completed three stitches one in the next two in the next stitch for the increase
we have six stitches this is number seven
two in the next eight nine ten two in the next 11 12 one in the next
thirteen two in the next 14 15 one in the next 16 two in the next 17 18 one in
the next stitch 19 two in the next stitch 20 21 one in the next stitch 22
two in the next 23 24 one in the next stitch 25 and the last stitch is two for
26 and 27 we have completed round four round five is going to be one single
crochet in each stitch around for a total of 27 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 we have completed round
five and you can see here it is slightly starting to curl up a little bit we have
one more increase round to do round six is an increase round we will be working
an individual stitch in each of the first two stitches two stitches in the
next stitch for the increase there is a multiple on round six which is three we
work an individual stitch in one stitch an individual stitch in the next stitch
two in the next for the increase so with each set of three stitches we are
working four stitches so in the last stitch is two stitches for the increase
an individual that's one an individual in the next four to the third stitch is
two which is three and four the first two are individual
five six to the next seven eight an individual in the first two which is
nine ten to in the next eleven twelve the first two are individual thirteen
fourteen two in the next fifteen sixteen individual seventeen eighteen an
increase 1920 the first two are individual twenty-one
twenty-two an increase 23 24 the first two are individual 25 26 an
increase in the next twenty seven twenty eight individual 29 30 increase 31 32
individual 33 34 increase 35 36 this is what we have completed through round six
round seven through 13 will be one single crochet in each stitch around for
a total of 36 there will be a total of seven rounds working one single crochet
in each stitch around you will continue on around to complete the seven rounds
and at this point if you wanted to make it a little bit longer you could you
could add in additional rounds to increase your little creature and make
it into any shape that you want to make it into
and now I'm going to stop here and go on ahead and finish my seven rounds and
then I will be back with the remaining part of this little emoticon I have
completed round thirteen round fourteen is going to be a decrease round what we
will be doing is working one single crochet in each of the first two
stitches and then a decrease over the next two stitches a decrease is taking
two stitches reducing them down to one and I'm putting my hook through the
front loop only yarn over pull through putting my hook through the front loop
only of the next stitch wrap the yarn over pull through there are three loops
on my hook wrap the yarn over pull through all three loops work one single
crochet in each of the next two stitches then the decrease and we will repeat the
same thing and I'm working through the front loop only yarn over pull through
put your hook through the next stitch front loop only wrap the yarn over pull
through there are three loops on your hook wrap the yarn over pull through all
three loops work one single crochet in each of the next two stitches and now we
will work the decrease
one single crochet in each of the next two stitches we will work the decrease
continue working around to the beginning upon completion we will have a total of
27 stitches on round 14 I have completed round 14 round 15 will be one single
crochet in each stitch around for a total of 27 that's number two three four
five six seven eight nine 10 11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27
and this is what it looks like at this point you can see that it's starting to
curve up in this direction round 16 is going to be a decrease round we will be
reducing our stitches from 27 down to 18 and if they aren't exact or if your
count is off you don't have to worry about it if it's just off by one or two
stitches don't worry about it because it is going to work out in the end now
we're going to work one single crochet decrease over the next two and the
decrease is still the same we're working through the
loop only over two stitches and that's two right there work one single crochet
now we're working a decrease putting our hook through the front loop only yarn
over pull through put our hook through the front loop only yarn over pull
through we have three loops on the hook wrap the yarn over pull through all
three we have completed four stitches work an individual in the next now we're
working a decrease this is stitch six and individual and then a decrease
that's eight this is nine
10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
now this is what I have now we will need to stuff this now at this time you will
want to stuff the center of your ball and this is what I'm going to use and
just start stuffing it like that now I'm going to put everything in there
just like that
then if you have access to nylon stockings or old stockings you could
always put this stuff in in a stocking and then put it on the inside if you are
concerned about it coming out but this is why I used the smaller crochet hook
was so the stitches would be close together
and there wouldn't be as big a concern about the stuffing coming out or peeking
through when I'm going to put this in as well put that right in there like that
and I'm just using up some of these scraps here that I have and you can see
none of its coming through right now and really this isn't much different than
what the fiberfill is so they're made of similar materials and you know just
however much you want to pull your yarn apart and you can turn your yarn into
fiberfill if you have leftover scraps
and I think that's pretty good for right now then I'll set that aside in case I
need more I'm going to work one more round of single crochet for a total of
18 so if you wanted to wait to stuff it after this last round on round 17 you
could do that it's number three four
five six
seven eight nine ten
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 round 18 is going to be nine single crochet decrease
so this part might get a little bit challenging and the decreases work the
same way as the previous decrease stitches we're working through the top
of two different stitches working like that that's number two
three
or
five
6.now if it starts to just get a little bit too tight and I'm gonna I'll show
you what we can do and we don't have to finish the stitches this is what we'll
do and I'm going to cut my yarn right here and then I'm going to knot it off
like that and I think that I want to add a little bit extra stuffing right here
at the top just like that just to add a little bit more fullness to it
now I'm going to thread my needle I have my little tapestry needle here and then
I'm just going to weave the needle through this last round of stitches and
just ease it shut as I go and I'm just working through the front loop and that
seems to even the loops out and the stitches so they're not pulling so tight
and create those big gaping holes
there we have it shut like that it doesn't look too bad
and the bottom is always going to look nicer than the top part increasing for
some reason just always looks a lot nicer than decreasing but that's alright
I'm going to I don't know what I'm gonna do yet either put a hat or hair on right
now I haven't quite decided what I want to do yet but I'm going to make a little
knot up here and if you actually liked the bottom side better what you could do
is make two bottom sides and then sew them together around here that's just
another option
I'm going to slow this on to the inside back decided to use up my strand of yarn
here and make little loops for hair up here so what I'm doing here is I am
looping around my thumb like that and using my thumb as a measurement and then
down here when I get my loop then I make a knot and secure it in place just like
that then we have little loops there or you can use your finger if you want to
you know if you want to do different sizes make a loop and then make a knot
down here to secure it and you can see that's going to keep it in place as long
as you don't tug too hard but
no maybe not down here to secure okay now that one's a little bit better
than that other one so you can play around with that and decide what you
want to do as far as your hair and the size of your loops and
then every so often you may want to make a second knot but the previous hairs
here they do seem to be staying in place like that and I'm just going to Co
continue on around here making loops and then I'm going to probably change color
and add in some other colors
