Juggling balls Crochet pattern:     Level: easy/ beginner


Abbreviations:

SC- single crochet

SL ST- slip stitch

CH- chain

RPT- repeat

DEC- decrease


  • Round 1: make a magic ring and SC 8 times into centre of loop and SL ST into 8th SC
  • Round 2: CH 1 and 1 SC into the same SC, 2 SC in each SC (should have 16 SC), SL ST to join
  • Round 3: CH 1 and SC into next SC, 2 SC into next SC *1 SC into next 2 SC, 2 SC into next- rpt * SL ST to join (should have 24 SC)
  • Round 4: change colour if desired and repeat previous (should have 32)
  • Round 5 -14: (change colour with every round if desired) *CH 1, SC into each SC until you get to the end, SL ST to join* RPT
  • Round 15: CH 1, 1 SC into next SC and then 1 DEC into next, *1 SC into next 2 SC and 1 DEC in next* RPT until end and SL ST to join
  • Round 16: CH 1, *1 DEC into next SC and then 1 SC into next* RPT until end and then SL ST to join


    At this point you will need to turn your piece inside out so the excess bits of yarn are now inside, this is a good time to stuff your ball.


  • Round 17: CH 1, *1 DEC into next SC and then 1 SC into next* RPT until end and then SL ST to join

    You should now be able to close the top with a simple SL ST.

    Using a yarn needle, thread your excess yarn into the ball so no excess is visible.

    Make as many as required.
