Have fun crocheting and giving gifts. Christmas isn’t far away...

A lovely gift even for the very little ones is this balloon cover. It’s crocheted from pentagons and then sewn together. When inflated with just a little air at first, the baby can easily grasp the ball. Later on, it becomes the perfect ball for playing indoors or even in the garden. The balloon is well protected inside the cover, making it much harder for it to pop. If the cover gets dirty, it dries quickly after washing, and play can continue.

Any type of yarn works for this project—whether cotton, sock yarn, or blended yarn. It’s also ideal for using up leftover yarn, since a single granny motif doesn’t require much yarn. The ball in my pattern (Summer 2016 product) was crocheted from 100% cotton with a yardage of 85 m / 50 g and has a circumference of approximately 66 cm when fully inflated. The greater the yardage, the smaller the ball.



Right now, there’s a 20% discount on the pattern for my balloon cover.

Cheerful, funny, and sometimes just a tiny bit cheeky? – Just like this fun "Frog Face" phone case.

It’s also ideal as a last-minute gift, as the phone case can be crocheted quickly and easily. You only need about 20 g of yarn and a button in a suitable size.
The pattern includes the measurements for 2 different sizes – "normally" sized smartphones and the "mini versions" – so the case fits many models.
