Free Crochet Snowball Pattern

What you'll need:

• Weight 5 or 6 white and yellow (optional) yarn
• 8mm hook
• stitch markers
• scissors
• needles to sew ends

This pattern is written in US terminology.

Rnd(s)= round(s)

sc= single crochet

inc= single crochet increase

dec= single crochet decrease (invisible decrease method)

MR= magic ring

A number in front of a stitch is how many you will do (example: 2sc= 2 single crochets in 2 separate stitches)

Repeat everything in the parentheses.

If there is a color listed, that is when you will do a color change. This part is only necessary for the yellow spot on the snowball if you are doing that one.

This pattern is worked in the round.
