crocheted balls 1 Attachment(s) 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.... |
YAY Gruffle Balls!! I've been crocheting since I was 6 years old, so this will be so easy for me, and my girls ( our two yorkies) will love them!! Thanks so much:D |
all the links happen not to work for me =( |
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. |
thank you I couldnt open the links either. Im going to try these. |
I think my two would love these. I don't know how to crochet though :( |
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. |
I am totally okay with it if someone wants to make me some and send them on out to me! :p |
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. |
Here's the link directions for the gruffle balls 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).

It's been so long since I crocheted, can anyone translate that? I understand the first two sentences. Chain 5 - join with slip-stitch to make a circle. Chain 3 - counts as 1st double-crochet (dc). |

Ditto.... Me tooo :animal36 |
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!!!! :D I promise to buy one!! |
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. |

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? |

So you put about 12 dc in each of the 5 original chain loops? Am I making sense? |
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. |
Crochet yorkie jersey pattern any one? . Gruffle ball is a hit! |
Do you have a jersey pattern? I would love it. |
