Am now sure i have football mania !!! You say each pentagon is surrounded by 5 other pentagons but in picture each pentagoni s surrounded by 5 hexagons unless i just am completely round the bend not understanding the stitching up at all .Is a pink line stitched to another pink line ?and a green line stitched to another green line but that would leave a black or dark grey shape on top of a pale grey shape -perhaps i had better cut paper shapes out and try to sellotape them together correctly – or perhaps just not try it at all .but nice to see that somebody must understand how to do the project :vomit:

I’m not sure what it is… just some random acrylic yarn I had in my stash. Sport weight is usually fairly easy to find, I think. Mine was a bit small, so if you knit with worsted weight it should be perfect!

Hi Eve

I need the make of the ball that gives the required gauge 28 stitches and 36 rows to 4 inches.

hi eve!

i am parisian, i just got the knit.1 magazine from my mailbox and your soccer ball caught my attention, went to their links section, you weren’t in it, so i googled you because it says in the magazine “eve at needle exchange” and WOW, here’s your pattern!
merci beaucoup, had i know about this i’d have knit chris one, but it’s laright, i barely have time to knit him one for his birthday in march. he’s a “football” fan (this is what we call it in france) since he was a kid.

I am in shock. Last Christmas I had the idea of knitting a soccer ball tea cozy for a tea and soccer obsessed friend. I spent many hours trying to sort out how to knit a pentagon and hexagon and then moved abroad for a year and left the project behind, only to pick it up again (upon my return home) last week. And then I found this, and I don’t have so sit here freaking out over it all! Thanks! (In order to do the tea cozy, I will be laeving out a few of the panels for the spout, handle, bottom, etc.).

[...] Someone emailed me a little while ago saying there was a mistake in one of the diagrams for my Soccer Ball knitting pattern. I finally fixed that about a week ago, so you can take a look at the updated version here, or grab the pdf here. The only difference is the construction diagram. [...]
