Juggling Ball
Lion Brand® Microspun
GAUGE:
20 sts + 36 rows = 4 inches [10 cm] in garter stitch (knit every row) BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Great pattern for shape configuration and idea, but I found the balls to be a bit large. Maybe 1 3/4" by 1 3/4" would be better. They are easier to juggle when they are a bit smaller.
