Miniature Pokéballs

 

I was going to be a Unova Pokemon Trainer for halloween. I spent a whole week making a Tepig and Oshawott for my costume and then I realized something. I didn't have any Pokeballs! So I looked online for some Pokeballs but they were either too big or too small. So, being the designer that I am, I decided to make my own pattern. Here it is.

Pokeballs

Materials:

Red Heart Super Saver Solids(or any Worsted Weight yarn[#4]) in Red, Black, and White

Size G crochet hook

Polyester fiberfill(or just do what I do and buy a pillow)
Yarn needle

Notes:
The numbers in ( ) at the end of each round/row indicate the number of stitches in that round/row. I worked in continuous rounds(or a spiral), but you can join the rounds if you want.

Using red,
Rnd 1: 4 sc in Magic Ring (4)
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each sc around (8)
Rnd 3: sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc around (12)
Rnd 4: sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (16)
Rnd 5: sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (20)
Rnd 6: sc in next 4 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (24)
Rnd 7: sc in next 5 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (28)
Rnd 8: sc in each sc around (28) change to black in last sc
Rnd 9-10: sc in each sc around (28) change to white in last sc in round 10
Rnd 11: sc in each sc around (28)

F/O and weave in ends.

Button:
Using black,
Rnd 1: 5 sc in Magic Ring (5)
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each sc around (10)
F/O and weave in ends. Sew to Pokeball where you changed colors.

Using white,

Rnd 1: 5 sc in Magic Ring (5) join

F/O and weave in ends. Sew to black button.

There you have it! A Pokeball! If you want, be creative and embroider symbols on your Pokeballs like I did. I marked mine so I know which one belongs to which Pokemon. Enjoy!
