Kettlebell pattern

Hey guys!

I know this isn’t the kind of amigurumi you are expecting here x) However as a friend asked me to make a Kettlebell and I’ve designed this simple pattern, I decided that I should share it with you even if it isn’t a geek themed amigurumi, hehe.

My next geek pattern is being designed and as I said before, I intend to make a WoW character. However, before I post this project, I think I will be posting some small patterns that I’m working at the moment, hehe. One of them is a 10cm Minion ^^.

Cya! :)

Materials:

– Black Yarn (I used Alfazema by Circulo, which is a Aran / 10 ply (8 wpi));
– White Yarn (I used Anne by Circulo, which is a Fingering / 4 ply (14 wpi));
– 4mm and 1.75mm crochet hooks;
– Fiberfill;
– Tapestry needle and scissors;

Notes:

– I always do my crochet works using continuous rounds;
– Everytime I will do a crochet work, the first thing I do is take a look in the entirely pattern before start doing it, so, I can have an idea of how the pattern works. Well, I recommend you to do the same;
– For sewing the pieces together you will use the tapestry needle;

– Numbers:

To make the numbers I made a row of chains and then another row of single crochets. After that I fixed it in the shape of the desired number and sew it to the ball. I think I made about 22 chains.

That’s it ^^
