Indoor Bocce Ball
I made this pattern because my friends and I enjoy playing outdoor games, including Bocce Ball. But during the winter here, it is not so fun with snow on the ground. The first time we had played an indoor bocce game was actually played with Hershey's Candy bars. It was quite interesting but so much fun!I was then inspired to make an actual crochet indoor bocce set. We love them! They are squishy, so they change form and may make it more of a challenge sometimes, but, hey, nothing wrong with a challenge! I did not include any rules along with my pattern because there are many ways to play it. If you don't know how to play, go ahead and Google it! Hope you enjoy this pattern! :) Also...You'll notice I did not do any decreases before sewing shut. The reason is because I don't like how noticeable the decreases are when finished and with no decreases it turned out just fine. Please do not sell this pattern!
