How to Make a Master Ball - DIY Pokemon Craft
Welcome to Nikuman! In this article, we will guide you through the process of making your very own Master Ball, a popular item from the beloved Pokemon franchise. The Master Ball is known for its cute pink and purple design and its ability to capture any Pokemon. If you're a Pokemon fan like me, you'll love this craft project. So, let's get started!
Materials Needed
Before we begin, let's gather all the materials we'll need for this project. You will need the following:
- Worsted weight yarn in purple, white, and a small amount of pink
- Crochet hook (size J)
- Darning needle
- Black and white felt sheets
- Hot glue gun

Making the Basic Shape
To start, we will create the basic ball shape of the Master Ball. If you want a more detailed explanation, you can refer to our Pokeball pattern video (link provided). Here's a summary of the process:
- Make a magic ring and single crochet (sc) 6 stitches into it.
- Increase by 6 stitches every row until you have a total of 42 stitches.
- Single crochet around for 5 rows in purple yarn, then switch to white yarn and single crochet for another 5 rows.
- Begin the decrease rounds by single crocheting 5 stitches and then decreasing the 6th and 7th stitches together. Continue decreasing until you have 6 stitches left, then fasten off.
Adding the Pink Circles
Next, we'll work on the pink circles that are on the side of the Master Ball. To make these circles:
- Make a magic ring with pink yarn and single crochet 6 stitches into it.
- Increase by 6 stitches every row until you have a total of 24 stitches.
- Make two of these pink circles, then sew in the tails and attach them to the sides of the Master Ball using a hot glue gun.
Creating the Button
Now, let's make the button for the Master Ball using white yarn. Follow these steps:
- Make a magic ring and single crochet 6 stitches into it.
- Increase by 6 stitches every row until you have a total of 18 stitches.
- Sew in the tail and attach the button to the center of the Master Ball using hot glue.
Attaching the Band
For the band of the Master Ball, we'll need a strip of black felt that is about an inch wide. Here's how to attach it:
- Hot glue the black felt strip along the center of the Master Ball.
- Cut out a circular piece of black felt that covers the overlap of the band and place it on top.
- This will create a seamless look for the band.
Making the M Symbol
The Master Ball is known for its iconic M symbol. Let's make it using white felt:
- Cut out the letter M from white felt.
- Place the M symbol above the button on the Master Ball and attach it with hot glue.
Assembling the Master Ball
Now that we have all the components ready, it's time to assemble the Master Ball:
- Cut off any remaining tails and make sure everything is securely attached.
- Double-check for any loose ends or threads.
- Once everything is in place, your Master Ball is complete!
