Pattern Notes
	
The	pattern	is	written	using	US	terminology.	All	pieces	are	worked	in	a	continuous	spiral	
starting	with	a	magic	ring	unless	otherwise	specified.	Mark	the	first	stitch	of	each	round	
with	a	removeable	stitch	marker.	Stuff	Pokeball	firmly	to	ensure	a	nice	round	shape.

Materials List
(items	in	brackets	indicate	materials	used	in	the	pictured	example)	
	
    • Yarn	(Panda	Magnum	Soft	8ply,	red,	black,	white)	
      •   Crochet	hook	to	match	yarn	(4mm)	
      •   Polyester	fiberfill	
      • Tapestry	needle,	stitch	markers,	scissors	
        	
Note:	Gauge	is	not	important	in	this	pattern.	Use	a	hook	size	to	match	your	chosen	yarn.	
Make	sure	that	your	stitches	are	tight	enough	to	prevent	stuffing	showing	through	and	
adjust	hook	size	if	necessary.
