  Step 1

  Small Ball

  Here is the basic formula.

  3sc (3)
  2sc in each stitch (6)
  2sc in each stitch (12) this counts as one of the three rows!

  If you want a small ball, crochet 3 rolls of 12.

  Dec SC (6)
  Dec SC (3)

  tie off

  finished size:
  1.5 inch diameter with Size 10 hook

  Step 2

  Medium Ball

  Working off the basic formula.

  3sc (3)
  2sc in each stitch (6)
  2sc in each stitch (12)
  2sc in each stitch (24) this counts as one of the six rows!

  If you want a medium ball, crochet 6 rows of 24.
  
  Dec SC in every two stitches(12)
  Dec SC in every two stitches(6)
  Dec SC in every two stitches(3)

  tie off end.

  finished size:
  2.5 inch diameter with size 10 hook

  Step 3

  Large Ball

  Working off the basic formula.

  3sc (3)
  2sc in each stitch (6)
  2sc in each stitch (12)
  2sc in each stitch (24)
  2sc stitch + 1sc in next stitch (36) this counts as one of the nine rows!

  If you want a large ball, crochet 9 rows of 36.
  
  Dec SC, the 1sc in the next stitch (24)
  Dec SC in every two stitches(12)
  Dec SC in every two stitches(6)
  Dec SC in every two stitches(3)

  tie off end.

  finished size:

• Step 4

  Go larger with formula!

  I venture to guess that if you follow the pattern, you could make balls 4.5 inches, 5.5inches, etc.

  Get creative. Make a ball scarf, Amigurumi, what ever.....

  Share what you make. I want to see it.

The yarn is "Patons Mosaic" in Pottery. I purchased it on clearance for $.50 a skein. I am cheap like that. The fabric makeup is 66% Acrylic and 34% Nylon.

These truly are absurd. I can't get over them. What kind of yarn did you use?

It looks like cotton wool stuck onto a balloon.
