Heavy Ball Crochet Along

It’s time for the next Apriball in the crocheting every Poké Ball series. Introducing the Heavy Ball! This amigurumi/crochet pattern uses basic stitches and basic shapes so it’s perfect for the beginning crocheter. The pattern being on the easier side gives us the opportunity to hone in and practice our technique, so that we can crochet a super professional looking Heavy Ball. If you’d like to support me monetarily, the written version of this pattern is available on my Etsy CatztailDesign (linked below). Also, as an early bird treat, the written pattern will be on sale for 25% off until August 16, 2026. 🔊Announcement🔊 In the video between rounds 10 & 11 of the Body there is a Pokémon cry. I will send the first person to leave a comment correctly identifying the Pokémon a free copy of the written Pattern! Your hint is that it is a Steel type Pokémon.
