Balls are a very useful form to crochet for your amigurumi! They make great heads, eyes, embellishments, bodies… the imagination is the limit! =)
To crochet an amigurumi ball follow these simple rules:
1. Start with a flat circle
Crochet a flat circle to the width you want your ball to have.
2. Work up
Work the same amount of rounds with no decreases or increases as the number of rounds you increased on. For example: if you started by increasing on 5 rounds, now you need to work 5 rounds without increasing or decreasing.
3. Decrease to close
Decrease evenly around on all rounds until you only have 8 to 6 stitches or less.
4. Close and finish off
Close the opening and finish off securing the yarn.
And that’s it! Your ball is finished and ready to use! =D
