Don't forget You Tube and being able to make one right with someone who has done a film on it for and with you.

It wasn't the site but it has nice patterns.

Thanks.

I did find the pattern and it was from Hooked on Crochet. Luckily I had photostated a few copies from the book. No book found in my crochet in my ottoman yet.

This is one of those threads where a generous, thoughtful person, @MKR14   was reaching out, looking for help in locating in creating their customary beloved gift, that would fulfill the hearts of children who had lost their father.

Several ppl  pitched in  & took the time, energy & research to act on this original request.

None giving up!

Reestablishes the all 'round hope in Human Nature & the caring for one another.

Thank you folks,   for this uplifting thread.

Thank you JoyFilledWarrior! I feel there are many helpful people on this forum that care. 
I made the pieces today for the ball itself as it is in two sections. My friend's son baseball will be white with a bright blue stitching and the girls is pink with white stitching.  They will be so cute. I know that they will love them.  I gave the Mom a Crocheted Gingham Afghan in white and light blue and she was so thankful.

I try and teach anyone to crochet if they want to learn. I surprise them with the crochet hooks needed and the yarn and pattern. I sit and watch and help them until they are comfortable. Then I receive a beautiful picture of the things they made.

My husbands grandmother taught me at the age of 16 and I am now 75 and still love what I learned all those years ago.

Have a great week everyone. 😊

I was wrong about the pattern for the crochet baseball. It was the booklet called The Workbasket. I just saw the pattern on Pinterest for the pattern I finally found of my own. 
I loved getting the Workbasket. I used to save them.

Just correcting my mistake.

LOVE'em!! 

You definitely have a talent, and a large heart!

I have made them since 1979 and I forgot how cute they were. A little challenging when I first started them and made them a little stuffed tighter for the kids. Now I am working on an afghan for a receptionist that takes great care of my appointments for my eyes. A little kindness from and me giving back brightens both our days.

This is the same pattern I made but my granddaughters.
