Two years ago I saw a picture of this ball, and nobody seemed to know how it was made. Was it a big tunnel that was intriquitly braded ? A knot ? Losse pieces ? How many ? We had no idea, but it was so cute, I had to figure it out.

It took me a few tries and a few days, and I’ve knitted a ton of these during my summervacation, experimenting with yarn, size, pattern and number of bands.

The pattern is on my website in Dutch, but since it is mostly pictures and pretty self-explanatory, it can be done without knowledge of the language.

It is made of any leftover yarn that is not too thick on needles 3 to 4 mm. It can also be crocheted with a few adaptations.
