Mystery Crochet Along - Step 3 Is Posted Early! | Posh Pooch Designs

Mystery Crochet Along - 
Step 3 Is Posted Early!

I realized Tomorrow is 
My Mom's Birthday.
(her 2nd one to celebrate in Heaven)
So, I decided to post 
Step 3 A Day early.

I think By now you have guessed it is a ball.
I know some of you will probably 
ask about putting a squeaker inside.
 You certainly can, but I did not.
It has been my experience that Squeakers 
are a choking hazard.

If you missed the Beginning 
of the Mystery Crochet Along:

Find the info steps at these links:
Do not over stuff or Small Dogs 
will not be able to grab" it with their teeth.
Step 5 Will be the "decorative details".

Step 3 - Finishing the Puppy Ball Shape

R : 29 - Change to C4, *1 sc in the next 7 sc, 1sc dec* 
Repeat From * to * around(64sc)

R : 30 -*1 sc in the next 6 sc, 1sc dec* Repeat From * to * around
(56sc)

R : 31 - 1 sc in each sc ( 56 sc)

R : 32 - *1 sc in the next 5 sc, 1sc dec* Repeat From * to * around
(48sc)

R : 33 -*1 sc in the next 4 sc, 1sc dec* Repeat From * to * around
(40sc)

R : 34 - 1 sc in each sc ( 40sc)

R : 35 - *1 sc in the next 3 sc, 1sc dec* Repeat From * to * around
(32sc)

R : 36 - *1 sc in the next 2 sc, 1sc dec* Repeat From * to * around
(24sc)

R : 37 - 1 sc in each sc (24)

Stuff the ball with the fiber fill loosely. 
You  want the ball to be able to be grabbed by hand or a dog mouth.

R : 38 -*1 sc in the next  sc, 1sc dec* Repeat From * to * around
(16sc)

R : 39 - 8 sc dec sts (8 sc) Cut yarn leaving a 12 inch tail for sewing closed.

Stuff the top of the ball more if needed, and sew closed. 

Just 1 more Step to go!!!!!
