Looking for an idea for a different Easter gift (yes, I’ve already thought of it – finally everything has to be crocheted – and that takes time), I found a very interesting page: Crochet Sphere Calculator – an invention of Alexander Avtanski.
You enter into the calculator how many stitches your ball should have in the diameter and – bang – you get a guide for the perfect ball.
This perfect ball is ideal for juggling balls. And therefore a different gift for the Easter season. Unfortunately I cannot juggle, I take them as a massage ball for the hands and they are also suitable as a pincushion . But don’t combine this last two suggestions. 😉
May I introduce to you: The Whole Gang
Of course, they also got their seat:
And in particular:
The happy Musicman
Jack – he’d also like to play the Easter Bunny one time
Unfortunately, the green ball has a headache
Minion, often crocheted, but you rarely saw him so chubby
Maybe this one is a little bit difficult for juggling because of his ears. You can’t see it here, but he also has a tail.
And Hannibal (he’s a star, you can find him in the movie “The Silence of the Lambs”)
… and all together once again
Have fun crocheting, juggling, massaging, throwing and whatever you can think of to do with them.
The pattern: Juggling Balls
Thank you, Alexander Avtanski, for your wonderful invention!
haha, cool 😀
Oh my, Karin these are fabulous! What a great idea and wonderful job you’ve done here.
Can’t pick out just one and say this one I like more than others, when all are just fabulous.
😀 wheee! Great work!
Thank you
Thank you Vanja. I had so much fun making them! Maybe I start to learn now a little bit of juggling …
These are adorable!!
Thank you
Thank you Terri, I’m glad you like them. Best regards, Karin
I love these little creatures with their own little seats – great crochet! 🙂
Thanks a lot. With the seats they don’t roll away so easily and I thought it looks very funny!
Merci, what a great idea to propose pattern in english too, thanks to that i can make these amigurumi too
Hello Steph, thanks for the comment. I try my best – I’m not an english native speaker so it is kind of hard for me. But I have also a lot of fun, because the english language makes it possible to communicate with people all over the world.
