Crochet amigurumi Hacky Sacks of FUN!
Materials
The exciting thing about
amigurumi is that they are
great stash busters.
Use any type of left over
yarn but remember to use a
size smaller crochet hook
than usually recommended.
The Hacky Sacks pictured
were made with a variety of
DK yarns and a size 3mm or
Size D crochet hook.
Allow 50 to 100 yards/109
metres of Dk or 8ply yarn.
You will also need a small
amount of stuffing material
such as beans or wadding and a
tapestry or darning needle for
sewing.
