Crochet Amigurumi Football Cover Instructions
Instructions
Put one piece in the center and sew 5 pieces around it, join all sides, and make one more to the same. After that, join the 2 sections together, leaving an opening for inserting the ball inside, and close the opening. I think you understand the joining idea. Many thanks for appreciating crochet amigurumi patterns for football covers and liking my other designs.

Sewing
Work. Make a total of 12 pieces of hexagon for this football cover, put one piece into the center and sew 5 pieces around on each side, using single crochet stitch for sewing. Then join the sides. Repeat the same work for the remaining pieces. After completing both, sew the middle around, leave an opening for the ball, insert the ball inside, then join the remaining sts.
