Colourful Grab Ball – woven crochet grab ball for babies

IMPORTANT: You are buying a PDF crochet pattern, NOT the finished ball.

This pattern is included in English AND German – both PDF versions are part of the download.

A colourful woven grab ball to crochet – perfect as a baby grasping toy or as a bright play ball. From six simple strands (only chains and single crochet) a sturdy ball is formed by clever weaving – completely without stuffing and in the colours of your choice.
