I've been working on a few more baby projects lately. I can't seem to help myself, must be the nesting instinct! I thought I would share a pattern for these crochet balls I developed many years ago in the Martha Stewart Kids magazine. It's fun to come up with all different stripe patterns and use up small bits of leftover yarn. Happy crocheting!

These are lovely. I have added them to my things to make list. Thank you. :)

Your baby us going to love these striped crochet balls. They have something so homey about them. There soft enough that they can roll them around without hurting anything and squishy enough that they won't roll too far away. I love the fact that they use up the little scraps as well!

Great! Thanks for sharing. I had a pattern like this that I lost ages ago, and have been wanting to make more like this, so this will be perfect!

That's wonderful news. I can't wait to see all the new projects coming our way. I have two kids and it had the opposite effect on me. I was too tired to do anything and now that they are 5 and 9 I've brought all my stuff out again and can't believe I ever put it away. I still want to make baby clothes - just have to find someone to make them for! My advice: Take all the naps you can.:0)
Best, Suzanne
