I have just started making some Pokemon balls for the school I work at. These are made to be quick and easy patterns to make lots of them. I have 4 patterns right now, but plan to make many more soon. They are all free crochet patterns on Ravelry. All patterns are made using Tulip's Fabric Paints. You can also choose to use felt, or embroider the facial features. Pikachu Ball Eevee Ball Oddish Ball Jigglypuff

The cute clip-art of the dragon is not the dragon you will be crocheting, he is just a cute little dragon mascot for our MCAL. The finished size of your dragon will be about 13 inches.

Many of you may already know about The Little Yellow Duck Project, but if you haven't heard of it please check out their website HERE or my other blog posts. :) April 15 is Yellow Duck Day.
