| crocheted balls thought you all might like this. the pups do. they can be as big or as small as you want. any color any texture. depending on your size needle or yarn. the pups less than 4 weeks old can pick them up and carry them. very easy to make and takes no time to do them. they are called gruffle balls.

| 1/2 the time my links don't work. thank you for doing that Mueyinter. i don't know what i do wrong. i copy and paste so as not to miss any thing. but still somehow something goes wrong. these balls are so simple for even a beginner. hope you all enjoy them as much as my pups do. they toss them. cute as all get out.

| I bet my Pixie would love these! My cats have this old nasty looking cloth ball thing that looks similar to this. Pixie just took it over when she moved in.... Maybe I should learn to crochet.... |

| Gruffle Balls I use regular worsted yarn for the bigger (4") balls and baby yarn for the smaller (2"-3") balls. Use the appropriate sized hook. Or whatever yarn that I can find. Chain 5 - join with slip-stitch to make a circle. Chain 3 - counts as 1st double-crochet (dc). Make as many dc as you can inside the circle - approximately 70-90, or whatever you can fit it. This first round will be all ruffly. Join to top of 1st chain 3. Chain 3 - counts as 1st dc. Put 4 dc in same stitch as the chain3. Put 4 dc in each dc on first round. Join to top of 1st chain-3 on this round. Tie off and hide ends. VOILA! GRRRRRRRRRUFFLE BALL!! These are very, very simple and only take about a half hour to make.

| Thanks for reminding me of these. I had made them before for Ben and Sadie and some of my family's dogs too. They all loved them. I know these will be great for the pups. They seem to prefer things like socks that are larger but easy to tote around. I think I will make a few tomorrow and see.
