During the pandemic, my husband and I started playing pickleball. I made these ball cozies for ourselves and our friends. Don’t they look cute, like little eyes peeking out? Have fun on the court and in your crocheting.

You need the following basic amigurumi crochet techniques:

• Magic Ring
• Single Crochet
• Increases
• Invisible Increases
• Chain
• Slip Stitch

This pattern is beginner-friendly, with photo tutorials to help with the specifics of making this cozy.

If you need help with basic crochet techniques, I recommend video tutorials by olliehollycrochet.

Materials
Depending on how long you make the chain, you can make 2 cozies with 1 ball (50g) of Estelle Sudz cotton yarn.
