BEAST BALL

This is part of a continued series of PokeBalls. This is a Beast Ball. The Beast Ball is a type of Poké Ball introduced in Generation VII. It can be used to catch a wild Pokémon, being more likely to succeed against Ultra Beasts and less likely against other Pokémon. This Beast Ball can be made two different ways. It can be made by simply stuffing the Beast Ball with Polyester Fiberfill or by inserting a tennis ball where indicated. I made the one featured in the photo with stuffing inside.

MATERIALS:
Worsted weight yarn: Blue, light blue, yellow, white, and black.
B crochet hook
Tennis ball or Polyester Fiberfill
Tapestry needle
