My favourite local yarn store, Black Sheep at Orenco, got turned into a pokémon gym with the advent of Pokémon Go, and I was so pleased by this that I thought I’d make a pattern! Now, pokéball patterns are a dime a dozen, but what I wanted was something that would be easy to print up nicely and give away, so that’s what I made.

This project should be suitable for crochet beginners. You can use any yarn with an appropriate hook. Gauge is not important for this project, but if you find you can see stuffing through holes in your ball, you might want to go down a hook size or two.

Love the pattern and want to thank me?

2. Make a pokeball and leave it for someone to find at your local pokestop or gym!
