Poké Ball Free Amigurumi Crochet Pattern
Pokémon has been huge in my house lately. When I was young I loved playing the video games and watching the show. My kids go through periods themselves every so often where they cannot get enough Pokémon. They love the show and have tons of fun playing with the cards. Recently they have been wanting some Pokémon toys to play with. Of course I had to start with a poké ball to throw around!
This pattern can easily be customized. You can change the colors used to make whichever poké ball you want (great ball, ultra ball, master ball, etc). You can be made larger or smaller depending on the yarn and hook size you use.
Enjoy this free pattern and have fun catching them all!

Invisible Decrease
I highly recommend using the invisible decrease for this piece. It is very similar to the regular decrease. However, instead of going underneath the entire stitch you will go under the front loops only. If you are a visual learner like myself, planetjune has an awesome tutorial for doing the invisible decrease. You can find it here.
