POKEBALL -- HEAL BALL

This is part of a continued series of PokeBalls. This is a Heal Ball. Heal Ball is one of many PokeBalls available in the Pokemon video games. This Heal Ball can be made two different ways. It can be made by simply stuffing the Heal Ball with Polyester Fiberfill or by inserting a tennis ball where indicated. I made the one featured in the photo with a tennis ball inside.

MATERIALS:
Worsted weight yarn: baby pink, pale yellow, jasmine, and light blue.
F crochet hook
Tennis ball or Polyester Fiberfill
Tapestry needle
