Basic Ball

If you’re brand new to amigurumi, start here first! This simple one-piece ball is the perfect project to get the hang of all the essential amigurumi techniques. You’ll start with a magic ring, and practice increasing, decreasing, stuffing, and finishing—all in one very simple project. Use the finished balls as play toys or stress balls, add a little catnip into the stuffing to use them as cat toys, or use them as the base pattern to customize into your own amigurumi design. *** > ***Please join us*** *in the [PlanetJune crochet designs > group](http://www.ravelry.com/groups/planetjune-crochet-designs) > - you can get pattern support, join crochet-alongs, show off your FOs, > suggest new designs, and chat.
