Make your own pokeball that will hold your Pokemon mini-figures and even be safe to toss. Choose a zippered version to keep small figures, tokens, and dice secure, or choose a button version for fast production so you can start your journey sooner.

Each ball does not use much yarn so you can use scraps. However if your yarn is not the same size you will not have the same size shape! I used Red Heart Super Saver and the red was thicker than the white and did not work. I tried adjusting the size of the hook and it still didn’t match. I used black and white in Red Heart Super Saver and red in Red Heart Soft for the finished balls in the photo.

If you are unsure of any of these techniques, I have included video links for your convenience.
