Throwable Dog Ball
This toy is ideal for playing with an energetic small dog at the park. It has a long piece of braided crochet at the end of the ball that is securely attached as it is crocheted on, making it strong. This allows the owner to throw it without getting mucky hands. It is a simple and special gift idea for a pet owner and can be made quickly.

Insert hook next to final stitch of round 8, secure yarn and repeat round 8- row 41. Repeat this again for three total lengths of crochet, do not fasten off on the final one. Braid them simply and slip stitch across the top of the braid. Fasten off and weave in ends.
Please supervise your dog while they play with this and take it away from them if it becomes broken.
