I wanted to make a football for the 2016 Super Bowl that was poly- filled, so we could either toss back and forth in celebration, or throw at the TV in frustration! It makes up to be 7” from end to end.

Use Team colors: for the Denver Broncos, Orange, white and dark blue worsted weight yarn, and a size G crochet hook. I also used stitch markers to help me keep track of the rows, and a yarn needle to stitch the team name and lacings. You will also need poly-fill to stuff the football.

Gauge is not very important in this pattern.
Pattern includes sample team names to help with placement.
