Crochet pattern for a soccer ball pillow – an instant download PDF, in English and in German in one file.

A pillow in the shape of a soccer ball: white and black single pieces are sewn together into two half spheres, with a wide light green stripe running in between like the line on the pitch. Worked with thick yarn and a size 4 hook, so it grows quickly and stays soft enough to lie on. How the pieces are arranged and how the gaps between them are closed is described step by step and shown in photos.
