I am totally okay with it if someone wants to make me some and send them on out to me!

Joey's breeder gave me one of these when I got Joey, and it's still one of his favorite toys. We play fetch with it and it's also great for catch, because it's soft enough that even a bad throw doesn't hurt their mouths. He's playing fetch with it in my avatar. My son's new puppy came for a visit and out of all the fancy toys we have, this is the one he loves. I use to crochet and wondered how you made these, thanks for the link.

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!!

It's been so long since I crocheted, can anyone translate that? I understand the first two sentences.

I have spent the last month crocheting baby stuff for my pregnant niece! This will be a nice change of pace. Thanks for the pattern.

Duhhhh. I dunno how. Someone make some to sell!!!!

I promise to buy one!!

RIPMyLittleCase · 06-02-2009, 12:02 PM

I just made one according to the pattern and then made one with a second row of the 4dc in each dc. Talk about alot of dc! Mine are boring in a baby blue.

Now I need to find crochet patterns for puppy clothes.

Once you do the Chain 5, grab a loop of yarn through the 1st chain and pull it ALL the way through the loop on your hook.

Then chain 3 onto that which counts as a dc. I can never find the top end of the chain later so I end up fudging my counts to make patterns work.

Clear as mud, right?

Ok, great, I think I got it! lol, I actually made some crocheted slippers once, (boy, were they uncomfortable!) I was really on a crocheting bend. Had so many afghans, if I'd only knew about these little balls, I could have been making them for my retirement income.

zoeybear · 06-02-2009, 01:19 PM

So you put about 12 dc in each of the 5 original chain loops? Am I making sense?

RIPMyLittleCase · 06-02-2009, 02:37 PM

Once you do the 5 chain, slip stitch, 3 chain....then you do as many dc into the center of the ring you formed. I think I got like 60 or 70 all squished in there. Then you slip stitch again but this time into the top of your chain 3 on this round. Then chain 3 and dc 4 times into each dc from the row you just finished.
