I did not expect this dog ball to have so much bounce, but it does! This is one of Indy’s all time favorite toys.

I think the double “I” design makes a nice pattern even if your puppy’s name doesn’t begin with the letter “I”. However, I have provided a blank ball knitting chart so you can create your own design.

There are videos of Indy with his ball (when he was 8 and 9 weeks) on the pattern page.

Gauge is not important since you’re going to be felting. If you decide not to felt the ball, make sure you knit tightly enough that the stuffing is well enclosed. Note: With all handmade dog toys, please supervise your pet while he plays with them.
