Estimating the term…
A spherical crocheted object includes a portion that contains high quality embroidery and is made beginning with a fabric piece called an initial disc. By initially knitting the spherical crocheted object into a flat, round disc of specific and limited dimensions, this initial disc is created for the introduction of an external embroidery process. The crocheted initial disc is tied off to maintain durability during the embroidery step, which is usually performed on specialized embroidery equipment. Thereafter, by vigilantly following specific construction techniques, a ball will be produced that retains its spherical shape resulting in an end product with characteristics similar to that of a spherical crocheted object that does not contain embroidery.
A method of making a spherical crocheted object comprising:
A crocheted ball of substantially spherical shape comprising an embroidered portion embroidered onto a crocheted surface of the crocheted ball, wherein a maximum dimension of the embroidered portion has a diameter of no more than approximately 2.25 inches and the spherical shape has a circumference of approximately 7.5′ inches.
A spherical crocheted object of substantially spherical shape comprising an initial disc made-of crocheted rows and having an embroidered portion embroidered thereon, and comprising a further crocheted portion having additional crocheted rows added-to the initial disc to form a substantially spherical shape, and wherein a maximum dimension of the embroidered portion has a diameter of no more than approximately 2.25 inches and the spherical shape has a circumference of approximately 7.5′ inches.
