Nifty Spell Balls - 2007/08/07 00:41 I've come up with a way to crochet spell balls for those of you who enjoy the yarny arts:

Use size H hook and worsted weight yarn. Work in rounds (do not turn).
1. Ch 4; join with sl st to form ring.
2. Ch 1, 8 SC in ring; sl st to join. (8 st)
3. Ch 1, 2 SC in each SC (16 st)
4. Ch 2, *2 DC in first stitch, 1 DC in next stitch* to last stitch; sl st to join (24 st)
5. Work even in DC for 2 or 3 rounds depending on desired size. (24 st)
6. Work even in SC for one round (24 st)
7. Ch 1, *sc, sc2tog* to last stitch, sl st to join
8. Ch 1, sc2tog all the way around, sl st to join
9. Tie off, leaving an 8" tail.
10. Flip the ball inside out (optional, but I always think this side looks nicer).
11. Stuff with denim scraps.
12. Using one of those big needles, lace the tail through the edges, tighten, and tie off.
13. Add fringe.
14. Pelt thine enemies.

I hope this is clear; I've never written a pattern before. Nimue

Re:Nifty Spell Balls - 2008/01/30 02:34 How much would it cost you to make some of these for me? say around 15. When there is no light, there is dark;

Re:Nifty Spell Balls - 2008/03/03 03:00 The cost is pretty minimal...but they take almost an hour each to make. Considering my academic load and the various unfinished craft projects lurking around my house, I could get that done in the next century or so. Nimue
