Now it's time to dive in and learn How to make the Amish Puzzle Ball:
Materials:
- Worsted weight yarn in three different colors
- Circular or double-pointed knitting needles in size US 7
- Polyester fiberfill stuffing
- A tapestry needle and a pair of scissors
Instructions:
Part 1:
- With Color A, cast on 12 stitches using your preferred method.
- Knit every row until the piece measures 2 inches from the cast-on edge.
- Switch to Color B and knit every row until the piece measures 4 inches from the cast-on edge.
- Switch to Color C and knit every row until the piece measures 6 inches from the cast-on edge.
Part 2:
- With Color C, cast on 12 stitches using your preferred method.
- Knit every row until the piece measures 2 inches from the cast-on edge.
- Switch to Color B and knit every row until the piece measures 4 inches from the cast-on edge.
- Switch to Color A and knit every row until the piece measures 6 inches from the cast-on edge.
Parts 3-6:
Repeat Part 2 three more times, using the same color sequence as Parts 1 and 2 but reversing the order in each section so that the colors follow the sequence C, B, A, A, B, C. You should end up with six identical pieces that look like this:
Assembly:
- Take two pieces and hold them right sides together with the colors matching up.
- Using Color C, sew the pieces together along one edge using a whip stitch. Repeat with the remaining pairs until you have three sets of two connected pieces.
- Take two of the three sets and hold them right sides together with the colors matching up.
- Using Color A, sew the sets together along one edge using a whip stitch. You should now have a half ball shape.
- Repeat step 4 with the remaining sets until you have a complete ball shape.
- Stuff the ball firmly with polyester fiberfill stuffing. Sew up the remaining hole using a tapestry needle and matching yarn.
