Recently I’ve been crocheting a lot of little creatures (amigurumi). I’ve made bees, unicorns, butterflies, and my most recent project Mario from Super Mario Brothers. I’m a total sucker for small things especially crocheted little things! As I was crocheting Mario, I was thinking about all of the other characters that I could crochet next. Then it hit me! How seriously cute would a little amigurumi Pokémon ball be?

So, I went to work designing a Pokémon ball crochet pattern. After some trial and error I have created an easy and quick crochet pattern that is simply adorable! This crochet Pokémon ball is the perfect project for any Pokémon fan and makes a great gift for the Pokémon fan in your life!
