If you are looking for a quick baby toy/gift then this Mini Crochet Amish Puzzle Ball is just the thing!

It is just under 10 cm in diameter, so very small, and uses hardly any yarn at all (but quite a bit of stuffing).

Although I still prefer the look of the original Crochet Amish Puzzle Ball, this little ball has all the puzzley pleasure of the big one and takes less than half the time.

The ball consists of 3 segments/rings that have to be assembled to form the ball. Once assembled the segments fit together quite snugly and make a perfect little grab ball for a baby. And with the limitless colour combinations you can make your little ball a thing of unique beauty.

If you find the ball to simple, you can try the Crochet Kiwi Puzzle (free). It is basically just a ball with a head and a beak :)

And if you still can’t face making 12 wedges, you could try the Pumpkin Segment Ball (free).

As always, have fun!
