Snowball Crochet Pattern

Let’s take a break from longer, more tedious projects to crochet some homemade snowballs using this quick and easy snowball crochet pattern! These little crocheted snowballs work up super quickly at just eight rows. Count ’em – EIGHT rows and you’ve got yourself a snowball!

Snowball Crochet Pattern

Where we live we haven’t had a good snow for what feels like forever. We got a dusting of snow a while back and the kids wanted so badly to go play and throw snowballs with the neighbor kids. (Yes! Go OUTSIDE and get dirty!) They did what they could with what little snow we had, but I’m happy to continue the fun with these lightweight crocheted snowballs!

My favorite part of this pattern is the yarn used. The Bernat Pipsqueak yarn is so soft and fluffy. Even after filled, my snowballs weigh less than one ounce each! At that weight I don’t think you could throw them hard enough to hurt, but with two rowdy boys in the house I’m sure we’ll be testing that theory shortly. LOL!

Materials:

Bernat Pipsqueak yarn (size 5/bulky)
-white pictured, about 16 yards per ball
Crochet hook in size H/5 mm
Small bit of polyfil
Yarn needle for hiding ends

Pattern Notes:

Pattern written using US terms.

The stitches are hard to see, so work between the stitches by feel instead of by sight. The more you make, the quicker you’ll be!
