This crochet hacky sack is one of the most approachable tapestry crochet projects you’ll ever make — and that’s exactly what makes it so special. The polka dot color diagram is simple and straightforward, so you get to learn a new technique without feeling overwhelmed by a complicated chart.

It’s a wonderful gift to make for the kids, grandkids, nieces, or nephews in your life, and it’s equally popular as a handmade market item. Since the whole thing works up in about an hour, you can easily make a whole batch in an afternoon once you get your rhythm going.
