PREMIER BALL

This is next in a series of PokeBalls that I have been working over the last couple of years.  I do not know why it took me this long to make the Premier Ball since it is so easy to make.  My goal is to have a pattern for every PokeBall available in the game of Pokemon.  Some will be more difficult than other, but I like challenges.  Here is the pattern that I came up with for the Premier ball.

MATERIALS:
Worst weight yarn:  White and red.
F crochet hook
Tennis ball or Polyester Fiberfil
Tapestry needle

PREMIER BALL:
Rd 1:      With white, 6 sc in magic ring.  (6)
Rd 2:      2 sc in each sc around.  (12)
Rd 3:      (sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc) around.  (18)
Rd 4:      (sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc) around.  (24)
Rd 5:      (sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc) around.  (30)
Rd 6:      (sc in next 4 sc, 2 sc in next sc) around.  (36)
Rd 7:      (sc in next 5 sc, 2 sc in next sc) around.  (42)
Rd 8:      sc in each sc around.  (42)  Change to red.
Rd 9:      sc in each sc around.  (42)
Rd 10:    sc in each sc around.  (42)  Change to white.
Rds 11-12:           sc in each sc around.  (42)
Rd 13:    (sc in next 5 sc, sc2tog) around.  (36)
Rd 14:    (sc in next 4 sc, sc2tog) around.  (30)
IF INSERTING TENNIS BALL, WHILE HOLDING IN PLACE, CONTINUE TO CROCHET AROUND IT.  YOU MAY NEED TO PULL YOUR FINISHED WORK TIGHTLY TO GET IT TO COVER TO COMPLETELY.
Rd 15:    (sc in next 3 sc, sc2tog) around.  (24)
Rd 16:    (sc in next 2 sc, sc2tog) around.  (18)
IF YOU ARE STUFFING THE DIVE BALL, THIS WOULD BE WHEN YOU WILL BE ADDING TO THE STUFFING.  CONTINUE STUFFING TO ACHIEVE DESIRED FIRMNESS.
Rd 17:    (sc in next sc, sc2tog) around.  (12)
Rd 18:    sc2tog around.  (6)
Finish off leaving a long tail.  Weave tail through sc of Rd 18, pull tightly, and secure.  Weave in ends.

BUTTON:
Rd 1:      With white, ch 2, 4 sc in second ch from hook working around ch, slip st in first sc changing to red.  (4)
Rd 2:      Ch 1, 2 sc in each sc around, slip st in first sc.  (8)
Finish off leaving a long tail.  Sew BUTTON to PREMIER BALL over Rds 9 and 10.
