This pattern is for a simple bottom up reusable knitted water bomb. Great as an alternative to plastic balloons, knit a bunch of these to soak in a bucket of water and throw at your opponent (they’ll work rather like throwing sponges).

I knitted these in a range of different colours of yarn using up leftover acryllic in my stash, to make a set as summer holiday presents for my nieces and nephews.

You use approx 20 metres per water bomb, and should aim to make around 10 bombs per player for a decent game.
