Remember the Newborn Football Hat and Booties I shared a little while back? Well, I had a little more of the same yarn, so I used it to make a little matching football!
My football looks slightly lumpy, doesn't it? Okay... I'll confess. I didn't have any fiber fill stuff, so I stuffed it with cotton balls. There. I said it. I choose to think of it as being resourceful... yeah... that's it... resourceful...
Anyway... let's just get to the pattern.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Lauren!
DeleteI think I want to make more with different colors. I need to find some 49er yarn! lol
I LOVE it!! I need to make one for my little guy. A football that's soft, so it won't break things. Oh, and I think you're very resourceful using cotton balls. It worked, and I didn't even notice any lumps. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Erin! I had to squish it to try to hide the lumps. lol Glad they aren't too noticeable! :-)

Am I not getting something right? Am I supposed to be repeating the stitches in the [ ] all around? Because if I do that the stitch count at the end (9, 12, 15, etc) does not add up correctly - please help!!
I'm sorry! I figured it out!!!! That's what happens when you try to crochet with a 14 month old and a 10 year old wanting your every moment! So now their in bed and I can concentrate on some me time!
ReplyDeleteThank you for a wonderful blog spot.
God Bless,
Holly
haha! I can definitely relate! My 2 year old is hanging on my arm, yelling, "mom!" and my 5 year old just hit my 13 year old with a Play-doh rolling pin. ;-)
DeleteSo glad you figured it out. It's amazing what a few minutes of quiet can do. lol
