Supplies

  • Yarn Needle
  • Scissors (I always keep these travel scissors in my hook case)
  • Polyfil
  • Non-toxic puffy paint OR white worsted weight yarn

Abbreviations

  • ch: chain
  • SC: single crochet
  • SC2Tog: single crochet two together

Finished Size:

Approximately 7"

Pattern Notes

  • This pattern is worked in continuous rounds.  I recommend using a stitch marker to keep track of the first stitch of the round.
  • I embellished my football with non-toxic puffy paint.  You could also use white yarn if you prefer!
  • I started stuffing my football after Round 28.  I gradually added more stuffing until the I reached the end.  I stuffed mine so that it is packed tight!
