I found a pattern for this on Ravelry (search for braided ball) and had to make one. This one is about 6 inches in diameter with a big hollow center.
It's easy, mindless knitting of 6 strips that curl into tubes, then just a simple braiding and stitching job to form the strips into a ball. Directions are on the Ravelry site.
Today's accomplishment!

I love the pattern. However, I have not been able to find anywhere online about how long the strips are, only to knit 58 rows or 68 rows, or whatever. Any thoughts?
Hi! As I recall, I made the ones for the small balls about 6 inches long, the one for the bigger ones about 9 inches long. If the lengths aren't perfectly even, it doesn't matter. You make the first shorter loops then weave the longer strip to use up the longer lengths.
