Crochet soft ball ik is quite easy. You can make it monochromatic, or you can complicate the task a little and make it multi-colored and striped. You can even make tiny balls to frame your current project using a special knitting technique called the pine cone chain.

Steps

Small plain soft ball

Tie an adjustable loop on the crochet hook near the folded end. From the starting stitch, knit two air loops.

• When you're done, you'll have your first circle. This circle makes six air loops.
1. • The second full circle should make a total of 12 stitches.

2. Alternate from two single crochet stitches to one. On the third round, work two single crochets into the first stitch of the previous round, then make a single crochet into the second stitch of the previous round. Repeat in the same pattern using each stitch of the previous round.

3. Make three circles with a single crochet. From the fourth to sixth rounds, work a single crochet into each stitch of the previous round.

   • Knit the fourth circle in the loops of the third circle, knit the fifth in the loops of the fourth, and the sixth in the loops of the fifth.
   • Each circle should make 18 loops.
   • Once you finish the sixth circle, you need to turn the ball outward to improve its appearance.

4. Decrease the number of stitches with a single crochet in the next round. Single crochet into the first two stitches of the previous row. After this, knit one single crochet into the next loop. Do it all again.

   • In total, there should be 18 loops in the seventh circle.
   • You've already reached the middle of your ball, and now you're starting to narrow it with each step. Basically, you will be knitting the same rows as in the first half, but in reverse order.

5. Stuff the ball. Fill the ball with fiberfill, dried beans or plastic bags.

   • If you use something small like dried beans, you'll have to finish another circle first before filling the ball. But if you wait longer, it will be incredibly difficult to fill it.

6. Decrease the number of stitches with a single crochet again. In the eighth round, work a single crochet into every two stitches of the previous round. Do it all again.

   • There should be a total of six loops.

7. Decrease the number of stitches with a single crochet again on the ninth and final round. Work one single crochet into every two stitches of the previous row, and repeat.

   • You should get three loops.

8. Secure the end. Cut the yarn, leaving long end. Drape it over the hook and pull it through the loop on the hook, creating a knot to keep the ball from unraveling.

   • Weave the remaining tip into the loops of the ball to hide it.

   Large striped soft ball

   1. Make it with crochet hook sliding loop(or the starting loop) and knit two chain stitches. Tie an adjustable loop on the crochet hook near the folded end. From the starting loop, knit two air loops.

      • Connect the loops with a half-stitch to create an initial circle.

   2. Work six single crochets. Make six single crochets starting from the second loop from the hook, i.e. first air loop.

      • When you're done, you'll have your first circle.

   3. Work two single crochets into each previous stitch. Complete the second round by making two single crochets in each stitch with a single crochet from the previous row.

      • We recommend using contrasting pieces of yarn, bright paper clips or plastic markers to mark the end of the circle. This applies to this circle as well as subsequent ones. This will make it easier for you to keep track of the beginning and end of each circle.
      • There should be a total of 12 loops.

   4. Move from two single crochet stitches to one. On the third round, work one single crochet into the next stitch of the previous round, then make two single crochets into the next stitch of the previous round. Repeat the same pattern until the end of the circle.

      • There should be a total of 18 stitches.

   5. Change the color and single crochet the fourth round. To make a stripe, take a skein of the second color, do not use the working thread you currently have. Make a fourth round, single crochet once in the next two stitches and twice in the next loop. Follow the same pattern until the end of the circle.

      • There should be a total of 24 stitches in this circle.

   6. Alternate two single crochet stitches with one. On the fifth round, work one single crochet in each of the next three stitches, and then two single crochets in the next stitch. Repeat until the end of the circle.

      • You should get 30 loops.

   7. In the sixth round we will add more loops. Continue to increase the size of the ball by working one single crochet into each of the next four stitches of the previous round. After this, make two single crochets in the following loop. Repeat until the end of the circle.

      • This will give you 36 stitches.

   8. Change the color and continue to increase the size of the ball. Return to the first color on the seventh circle. Work one single crochet into each of the next five stitches, and then make two single crochets into the next stitch. Repeat the same pattern until the end of the circle.

      • In total you will get 42 loops.

   9. Add the number of single crochets again for the next six rounds. You will repeat the same pattern for rounds 8-13 inclusive. Change the color again to complete the ninth circle, and then return to the original color to complete the twelfth circle.

      • 8th round: one single crochet in each of the next six stitches, and two single crochets in the next one. Repeat until the end of the circle. The total number of loops is 48.
      • 9th round: one single crochet in each of the next seven stitches, and two single crochets in the next one. Repeat until the end of the circle. The total number of loops is 54.
      • 10th round: one single crochet in each of the next eight stitches, and two single crochets in the next one. Repeat until the end of the circle. The total number of loops is 60.
      • 11th round: one single crochet in each of the next nine stitches, and two single crochets in the next one. Repeat until the end of the circle. The total number of loops is 66.
      • 12th round: one single crochet in each of the next ten loops, and two single crochets in the next one. Repeat until the end of the circle. The total number of loops is 72.
      • 13th round: one single crochet in each of the next eleven loops, and two single crochets in the next one. Repeat until the end of the circle. The total number of loops is 78.

   10. From the 14th to the 21st round, knit a single crochet into each loop. The next eight circles will have exactly the same pattern. You will simply need to make one single crochet in each stitch of the circle, immediately moving to the current circle you are working on.

       • Change the thread to the second color after the 15th round. Go back to the original color after the 18th and finish the ball with that color.
       • There should be 78 stitches in each circle.

   11. Finish your work. Cut the yarn, leaving a long end. Drape it over the hook and pull it through the loop on the hook, creating a knot to keep the ball from unraveling.

       Repeat the same to knit the second half. What you just finished is only half the ball. To make the second one, you need to follow the instructions exactly, including those regarding changing the colored thread.

   12. Connect the halves. Thread approximately 60 cm of yarn of the original color into a darning needle. Sew the ball halves together by bringing the ends together evenly and stitching back and forth through both halves.

       • Place the halves on top of each other with the right sides facing in.
       • Sew around the perimeter, leaving an opening of approximately 2-3 cm.

   13. Hit the ball. Turn the ball outward. Lightly stuff the ball through the hole left with fiber filler or whatever filler you prefer.

       • If you want a crinkly ball, fill it with plastic bags. If you want a “bean pouf,” fill with dried beans.

   14. Sew up the ball completely. Thread the original color thread back into the needle and sew the hole closed with a blanket stitch. Secure with a knot.

       • Pull the ends of the thread inside the ball to hide them.

   Cone chain

   1. Yarn over and pull a loop through the next loop. Thread the working thread onto the crochet hook. Insert the hook into the next loop of the chart, bring the loop over the back again and pull it forward to create another loop on the hook. This way you have three loops on your hook.

      • The chain of cones by itself will not form a ball. You should use this technique when you need to add a ball to something you are on at the moment you are working. To use this technique, you must already be knitting something, so you need to start when there is already a loop on your hook.

You can make a ball from the leftover threads, crocheted. Each fragment consists of only 4 rows, so it is knitted quickly. If you have several different skeins of the same quality in use, keep this option of using leftovers on your mind. These balls are a wonderful gift for children you know.

Crochet balls: materials and tools:

hook 2.5 mm;

6-7 colors acrylic yarn(300 m = 100 g);

padding polyester or silicone for stuffing the ball.

How to crochet a ball: diagram and description

Knitting pattern for a ball (fragment). This is the diagram from Japanese magazine, it makes it clear how to make such a toy.

For one ball you will need 12 pentagons.

Close the row with a blind loop, cut the thread. Tighten the initial amigurumi ring thoroughly.

Link 12 fragments in this way. I have 6 different colors, 2 motifs of each color.

We lay out the fragments in the order we need and tie them together in single crochets with a thread of a contrasting color.

We tie the fragments together, placing them in a ball.

When three fragments remain unconnected, stuff the ball well with filler. It is important that the padding is such as to straighten and bend our fragments outward, and the ball itself takes on the shape of a ball. But, of course, the stuffing should not be too dense, otherwise crochet the ball will be too heavy.

We tie the remaining holes.

And we send the ball to other toys.

Or better yet, we immediately put it in children’s hands!

If there are any unclear points in the master class, we suggest clarifying them in the comments. This work can be done even by novice craftswomen.

Ball knitted "along the equator"

That's right: today we will learn to knit a ball, moving along its equator and knitting slice by slice.

The technology is based on the concept of a shortened row, manipulation of which allows you to achieve the desired volume effect. Even if you have never used this technique in your work, try it, you will certainly succeed!

For work we will need:
- yarn, for example this;
- knitting needles;
- filler;
- a needle for yarn and scissors.

We will knit the ball as tightly as you can afford, without excesses, i.e. Just stockinette stitch(knit stitches in knit rows, purl stitches in purl rows). At the end of the MK, you will understand that you will perform any excesses - pattern variations, weaving beads, embroidery - without my participation.

Let's remember the mathematics of the school course.
If we need a ball of radius R, then the length of the initial row should be πR=3.14*R. Based on this and taking into account the density of your knitting with the selected yarn/selected knitting needles, calculate the number of loops in the initial row yourself. Round the resulting number to the nearest integer divisible by three.

We cast on loops (this can be done in any way, but the open loop method can be considered ideal), leaving a fairly long tail (we will need it later), knit the first row up to the penultimate loop inclusive.

We turn the work, insert the right knitting needle into the last knitted loop of the previous row, moving from right to left, leaving the working thread in front of the work.

We pull the working thread away from ourselves so that the last knitted loop, moving back, deforms the loop that lies under it and two walls of the latter would appear on the knitting needle - front and back (it is written complicated and long, in reality everything is very simple, try it) , move removed loop on the right needle without knitting in any way. Those who recognized this maneuver as one of the options for knitting shortened rows are right.

Note that the moved loop looks unusual as "almost" two loops.

We purl the row up to the penultimate stitch inclusive.

We turned the work, inserted the right knitting needle from right to left, thread in front of the work...

We pulled the working thread until it was deformed “from one loop we got two”...

We transferred the drawn result to the right knitting needle without knitting.

Knit the row up to the penultimate stitch in the row, inclusive. Turned, inserted, pulled out, removed, etc.

Shortening each row by one loop, we work in this rhythm until we shorten the number of loops by two-thirds, i.e. You should have a third of the knitting needles in work, a third set aside on the left and a third on the right.

We knit the next two rows to the end, i.e. in one row we put into work the loops laid aside on one side, and in the next row the loops laid aside on the other side are put into work. Every “almost” two loops are one loop, which should be knitted as one loop - remember this.

Check yourself at the end of this stage of work: there should be exactly as many loops on the knitting needle as were cast on at the beginning of the work.

The first slice of the ball is ready.

We knit the remaining five in the same way.

NB. You can limit yourself to a smaller number of slices - the result will be an equally interesting object.

The result should be something like this:

Having knitted the last row of the sixth piece and leaving this row on the knitting needle, cut off the working thread, leaving a rather long end.

We pass the tail remaining from the cast-on edge along the edge loops of our knitting without tightening it. Using a specially cut thread from the ball, we perform the same operation from the other end of the work. We are not delaying anything anywhere yet.

We begin to sew the ball up with the thread that extends from the last knitted row, using a loop-to-loop stitch. We do not stretch the thread excessively, our task is to get another row of loops, which will make the joint of the work absolutely (I am not exaggerating: absolutely) invisible.

Approximately in the middle of the seam, we tighten the thread that stretches along the edge loops, from which we have already moved pretty far. We begin to fill our ball with pieces of filler. We stuff it tightly and evenly, trying to give the product the shape of a ball and at the same time adding additional elements inside: a holder for Christmas decorations, bell, container with dry filler, etc.

We finish the seam. We tighten the thread running along the edge loops and fix the ends. We hide all the tails with a needle inside the ball, cutting off all the excess.

Questions?

Options for using the object can be seen here.

NB. In light of the fact that all of the above is the author's development, I, as the author, insist on compliance with the following conditions for its use.
You can: use the technology for personal purposes, to make products as a gift, for sale, etc. At the same time, I don’t see the need for links to my address.

You cannot: sell the technology, pass it off as your own, copy all or part of the published material without prior agreement with me.

Thanks for understanding.

Many young mothers are faced with the problem of what to do with their children? But the main thing is that the toy is safe and at the same time bright! I present to your attention a ball (ball), which you can crochet yourself from threads of any color and composition; you can put a container with beads inside and you will get not only a bright toy, but also a rattle.

How to crochet a ball

Knitting is repeated from * to * 6 times.

We collect 2 air loops and close them into a ring.

1 row– we knit 6 single crochets into this ring.

2nd row– in each loop of the previous row we knit 2 single crochets – in total we will get 12 loops in this row.

3rd row– be sure to mark the beginning of the row with a contrasting thread. Make *1 increase, 1 single crochet* – 18 stitches in total.

4 row– *1 increase, 2 single crochets* – 24 loops in total.

5 row– *1 increase, 3 single crochets* – 30 stitches in total.

6 – 10 ranks(5 rows) – we knit 30 loops in each row without increases.

11 row– *1 decrease, 3 single crochets* – 24 stitches in total.

We fill our ball with foam rubber or padding polyester, or insert a container with beads or cereal and knit further.

12 row– *1 decrease, 2 single crochets* – 18 stitches in total.

13 row– *1 decrease, 1 single crochet* – 12 stitches in total.

14 row– 6 decreases – 6 loops in total.

Pull the remaining 6 loops together using a needle.

Here is our crocheted ball and it’s ready!

Crochet ball pattern

According to this description, you can knit balls or balls of any size. We make increments in each row according to this principle. If you noticed, in each next row we have 6 more loops than in the previous one, because... in each row we make 6 increases.

After we have knitted part of the ball with increases, we need to calculate how many rows to knit exactly. To do this, we divide the number of loops in the last row with increases by 6 and get the number of even rows. Next we make decreases, as well as increases, with 6 decreases in each row. That's the whole calculation!

I wish you good luck!
