This hollow ball is a knitting or crochet wool yarn pod with a zipper on the side and a hole at the top. You open it, put your ball of yarn inside, feed the end out the hole, zip it up, and knit (or crochet) to your heart's content. Good-bye pet hair, dust bunnies, and tangled balls in your knitting bag.
This pattern was recently updated to improve the pattern shape and include how-to make photographs. It now contains pattern pieces for 2 sizes, approx 8" and 10" diameter pods.
The secret to this pod is to use fusible Soft & Stable inside the fabric. The Soft & Stable product is firm enough to hold the hollow round shape open.
If you haven't discovered Soft & Stable yet, you want to. It is perfect for purses, bags, and other 3 dimensional projects which you want to have hold their shape when empty.
