This is a beginner-friendly balloon plushie crochet pattern! To start this pattern, you will need to know a few basic stitches: magic ring, single crochet, increase, decrease, chain, and slip stitch. The finished product makes for a perfect stress ball or child’s toy. You can make one of these in less than 30 minutes.

I will be using Yarn Bee’s Sweet Delight and Adore-A-Ball yarn for this plush. You can use any brand of yarn you desire, but a thicker yarn is needed for the balloon body and a thinner yarn is needed for the balloon string.

Happy crafting!
