Crochet Pattern: Amigurumi – Crochet Simple Smallest Ball
We crochet the simple smallest ball from top down in in spiral rounds with only double crochet stitches. First we increase, then we crochet some rounds without increases or decreases an the we decrease. When you are next to the end, the ball will be filled as you like and then finished and closed.
Tip: By offsetting the increases and decreases you get an even better result. Just take a look at the Stitchetable for Circles and Spheres!
- 1st round: magic ring + 6 single crochet stitches (US!) = 6 stitches
- 2nd round: double every stitch = 12 stitches
- 3rd round: double every 2nd stitch = 18 stitches
- 4th round: double every 3rd stitch = 24 stitches
- 5th – 9th round: (= 5 rounds) each stitch one stitch = 24 stitches
- 10th round: crochet together every 3rd and 4th stitch = 18 stitches
- 11th round: crochet together every 2nd and 3rd stitch = 12 stitches
- fill and stuff completely
- 12th round: crochet together every 1st and 2nd stitch = 6 stitches
- cut the thread generous, pull off the loop, close remaining opening, secure and weave in the thread end
Finished is your self crocheted ball! Have fun playing with it or giving it away and hopefully I´ll see you next time!
