This is such a great idea! My sister is really interested in this type of thing. I think I will try this for my nephew, due in October. Thank you to the person who posted the directions for a dbsc, that is very helpful! If it was not here, I would just look it up online, but now I dont have to.

This is a great use of Hyperbolic crochet. It's such an easy pattern and babies can get it into their hands! There seems to be a lot of confusion with the dbsc stitch that is used. Double single crochet is not a common stitch but it is a simple one.

This is a nice use of hyperbolic crochet. Its very easy to work up, and dont be put off by the designers use of dbscwhat she actually means is work 2 single crochet in one stitch. Yes, yes, yes about high contrast colors for baby toys!!! The only change I would make it to mix a little black and red into the ball itself and not just on the edges.

I would love to help you figure it out, mmurray22 but I can't even get the pattern to see what it means. The link is broken now and the page it points to says "This blog has been removed".

Start off like a regular sc and Insert hook into next stitch. YO and draw through one loop, and that will leave you with 2 loops on your hook. YO again and insert the hook back into the same stitch. YO draw another loop through the stitch, so you are left with 4 loops on your hook. YO and draw through all 4 loops at one time.

This is a very easy pattern, it's like amigurumi and if you skip a stitch no one is going to notice. I made it for 3 babies and plan on making more. I did use green for the trim, I think it contrasts with the white quite nicely!

LOVE IT. One question, what is dbsc? Is that a dc & sc in the same stitch?

I crocheted this for my great granddaughter a while back and it was so much fun to create. Her mom said she just loves to play with it. I made it white with red trim. It turned out really cute. Thanks for sharing this pattern.
