June Beach Ball Pillow...Day Two Progress...

...another 10 rows...and I realized in the daylight that my two balls of royal blue are not exactly the same...so I'm just alternating rows with them...and hoping that I've got enough green...that ball looks pretty small...and I think I'm going to like the 'sand' coloured background...still...

~Have a lovely day!

June Beach Ball Pillow - Day One Progress...and a new colour chart...

...so these are the colours I'll actually be using for my beach ball...but you can use any colours you want...I remember when our Airman was little one of his little friends had a beach ball that was all shades of pink...and some beach balls alternate with a band of white between each colour...and I've seen a two-toned black and white beach ball too...
...anywhoo...the first ten rows...just starting the bottom of the ball...and I'll be using small balls of black for each of the lines because I don't want that much stranding across the back...

~Have a lovely day!

Beach Ball June Pillow - Choosing Your Colours

...OK...remember yesterday...when I said you could use any colours you wanted for your Beach Ball...well...I'm going to be re-arranging the colours a bit for my own palette...

...the pattern is based on an actual blow up plastic beach ball that we had when our Airman was little...and I liked the colours on it...

...but I don't have enough bright yellow to do that big swath of yellow at the top...but I have plenty of red...so I think I'll put red there...and then move the yellow over to where the green is...move green to orange and orange to red...

...and then I'll be using the tan colour for the background...like sand...

~Have a lovely day!

Beach Ball June Pillow

...I couldn't really think of anything to put on a June Pillow...well...I thought of June Bug...but they're not very appealing...and I often think of the beach in June...so I initially thought about making this pattern round...you know...like an actual beach ball...

...but then I thought it would look nice on a sand coloured background...so I'm not doing the background in white...but you could if you wanted to...

...the pattern is super easy...just follow the chart...all in single crochet on a size 3 hook...you don't even have to use the same colours...you could make a pastel beach ball...or a red white and blue one...

~Have a lovely day!
