Knitted oblong turned into a Ball !

This activity is very rewarding to make and play with once finished! 

You will need

  • size 3-4 mm knitting needles 
  • One colour or two or more eg rainbow colours of wool or cotton 
  • 12–20 stitches 
  • A balloon and red lentils to fill it 
  • Sewing needles to bring it altogether into a ball from an oblong . 

The finished ball can be used in numerous ways ,throwing ,rolling ,fidgeting  etc but also for juggling if you make three. If thread is attached they hang and turn like a mobile. They can be simply for swinging around or can become a Christmas tree decoration or eccentric ear rings !!
