I’ve finally finished chapter 3 inks, and will be starting chapter 4 inks soon. Don’t forget that I’ll be going to Adelaide Comic-Con this weekend, and that House of Odd came out last Tuesday!
This week I show you one of the first things I crocheted, since it was so easy. It’s a pokeball, and I got the free pattern from Wolfdreamer’s blog. This particular pattern makes a rather large ball (the size of your first) at 42 stitches, so for my version I decided to shrink it down to 30 stitches. I found that 30 stitches maximum produced a pokeball that is more like the size it’s supposed to be (ie. fits into the cup of your hands).
Step 1: Crochet the top half of the pokeball. I stopped at 30 stitches though, since I felt that was the "normal" size for a pokeball.
Step 2: Add the black parts then the white parts. You do this much in the same you chance colours during crocheting.
Step 3: Crochet the little black and white buttons in the middle of the pokeball, then sew them onto the ball.
And here we have two pokeballs, one 42 stitches wide, and one 30 stitches wide. You can see the size difference.
