Breathtakingly Nostalgic Crochet Pokeball Doily

by strommercrafts / September 14, 2025

Hello everyone! Today I have made a Breathtakingly Nostalgic Crochet Pokeball Doily to share with you.

I’ve been inspired to make doilies based off of some of my favorite video games growing up. This includes my Crochet Legend of Zelda Triforce Doily and my Crochet Animal Crossing Doily!

I still remember the very first Pokemon game I played was Pokemon Ruby. I picked Mudkip as my starter and named him Bubbles. I loved that little game…but surprisingly with how many hours I put in, I never caught a dang shiny Pokemon :(.

Anyways…

This is one of my more complex designs, so I drew up a diagram to help you visualize the pattern better.

I am using a new filet crochet technique in this pattern, to make it appear a little more delicate and lacy. I think it also helps the Pokeball “pop” out more so you can see it better.

We will be coloring changing threads in this Crochet Pokeball Doily pattern. I highly suggest that you feel comfortable doing color changes with bigger yarn sizes before trying it with thread. But I understand if you want to just go for it and see what happens!

Color changing in crochet is kind of weird and I’ll explain a little better below…I hope. Essentially, you have to think ahead and attach your new color before the stitch that needs the new color.

It’s kind of like tapestry crochet, but we’re using double crochets instead of single crochets.

I also recommend blocking this doily and basically anything that you crochet with thread. It looks so much cleaner and less scrunched up. I use water to block mine, but I know other people like to use a starch solution to make it stiff.

Okay enough rambling, let’s start making your Crochet Pokeball Doily!

About Color Changes in This Pattern

Color changes can be a little weird in crochet. You must look ahead to color change and attach your new color before you finish the current you’re on.
Sometimes you will finish a dc and sometimes you will not! It depends on whether the next st is a ch or another dc.
I don’t recommend “carrying” your last color thread with you. Since we are using dc and contrasting colors, they stick out through the fabric.
I recommend cutting your thread when starting a new color OR dropping the yarn and picking it up when you need it again and giving yourself enough line (but one side of your doily will be ugly)
See pics below for info on when to attach the new colored thread.

I’ve also made a crochet chart to go with this pattern below.

I’m still learning how to make these charts, but I think you can see the pattern much better if you don’t like written instructions.

I made the border in a red and blue color in this chart so you can see each round more clearly.

Row 20 ch 6 (counts as dc and ch 3), turn, dc in next dc, *ch 3, dc in next dc.* Repeat from *to* (11 dc, 10 ch 3s)

Border

Instead of going back and forth like we have with the main body of the crochet Pokeball doily, now we will crochet around our square.

Round 1: ch 4 (counts as dc and ch 1) dc into the same st as the starting ch 4, ch 1, dc into same st again. This is our first corner made.

Ch 1, dc into middle ch of ch 3, *ch 1, dc into next dc.* Repeat from *to* until we reach the next corner. Your last dc should be placed in the 3rd ch of the previous row’s starting ch 6. From here, ch 1, dc into same ch, ch 1, dc into same ch again.

As you can see, our corners will be a combination of (dc, ch 1, dc, ch 1, dc) all in the same corner st.

Turning down the first side of our doily, ch 1, skip the rest of the ch 3 you just made your corner in and dc into the top of row 19’s dc. Ch 1, skip the length of the rest of that dc and dc into the 3rd ch of row 18. Repeat dc and ch 1s down the side, see the chart as a reference. Sl st to 3rd ch of starting ch 4.

(22 “squares” on each side)

Round 2:

**Note: the ch 1 spaces before and after the middle corner dc from round 1 will have 2 sc in them, not 1. See diagram for details.

ch 1 (does not count as a st), sc into same st, 2 sc in next ch 1 space, (sc, ch 1, sc) into the next dc (this should be the middle dc of round 1s corner). If you need to, place st marker in the corner ch 1 space for later. 2 sc in next ch 1 space, sc into each dc and ch 1 space across until you get to the first dc of the next corner from round 1. Place a sc in this dc, 2 dc into next ch 1 space, (sc, ch 1, sc) into next dc, 2 sc into next ch 1 space.

Turn down the next side and sc into each dc and ch 1 space, make corners. Sl st to first sc.

(47 sc on each side, 4 ch 1 corner spaces)

Round 3: ch 3 (counts as a dc), (dc, ch 1, 2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) in the same st as ch 3. Ch 1, skip 3 sc, (sc, ch 1, sc) in ch 1 corner space. *Ch 1, skip 3 sc, (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc, ch 1, dc) in next sc, ch 1, skip 3 sc, sc in next sc* Repeat from *to* until next corner.

You should have 3 sc left before the next ch 1 corner space after the last (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) shell. Ch 1, (sc, ch 1, sc) in ch 1 corner space. Repeat from *to* until next corner again. Corner spaces will be (sc, ch 1, sc). Sl st to top if starting ch 3

(6 shells on each side)

Round 4: sl st into next dc, sl st into ch 1 space. Ch 1 (does not count as a st), sc in same ch 1 space, ch 3, skip 2 dc and sc into next ch 1 space, ch , skip 2 dc, skip next ch 1 space, skip next sc, (dc, ch 3, dc) in ch 1 corner space.

Ch 2, sc into first ch 1 space of next shell, ch 3, skip 2 dc, sc into next ch 1 space of shell, ch 1, (dc, ch 1, dc) in the sc between the shells, *ch 1, sc into first ch 1 space of next shell, ch 3, skip 2 dc, sc into next ch 1 space of shell, ch 1, (dc, ch 1, dc) in sc between shells* Repeat from *to* until next corner, finish last shell with sc into first ch 1 space, ch 3, skip 2 dc, and sc in next ch 1 space of shell.

Ch 2, (dc, ch 3, dc) into ch 1 corner space. Repeat on sides and corners in this fashion. Sl st to starting sc

Round 5: sl st into next 2 chs, ch 1 (does not count as a st) sc into ch 3 space. Ch 1, ([dc, ch 1 x7 times], dc) in ch 3 corner space. (This corner shell should have 8 dc separated by ch 1s)

*Ch 1, sc into next ch 3 space on top of next shell, ch 1, skip next sc, skip ch 1 space, skip dc, ([dc, ch 1 x5 times], dc) into ch 1 space between the 2 dc.* Repeat from *to* until next corner, ch 1, sc into ch 3 space in last shell, ch 1, ([dc, ch 1 x7 times], dc) in next ch 3 corner space. Repeat from *to* on sides.

Sl st to starting sc. (5 smaller shells on sides, 1 larger shell in each corner).

Cut thread with scissors and pull through.

Weave in any ends with tapestry needle.

Blocking:

Soak doily in cool water for a minute, gently pat dry on a towel. Using a blocking board (or piece of cardboard large enough), pin edges straight with pins. Allow to dry for about 24-48 hours.

That’s it for this Crochet Pokeball Doily Pattern! If you made it this far, thank you, I hope you enjoyed this pattern.

Until next time.

Crochet Pokemon Hat – Pokeball (1-3 Months)

by strommercrafts / May 2, 2023

Hey everyone, today I have a Crochet Pokeball Hat Pattern for you!

Are you a fan of Pokemon and looking for a fun way to show off your love for the popular franchise on your little baby? Look no further than this Pokeball-inspired crochet hat! This pattern combines the classic look of a winter hat with the iconic design of a Pokeball, making it the perfect accessory for any Pokemon loving parent.

Whether you’re braving the cold on a winter day or heading to a Pokemon-themed event with your little one, this hat is sure to turn heads and showcase your love for the game. With easy-to-follow instructions and a simple colorwork design, this pattern is suitable for crocheters of all skill levels. So grab your hooks and yarn, and let’s get started creating your own crochet Pokeball hat!

Be sure to check out some of these other Pokemon Crochet patterns I’ve made!

How Do I Put an Image on a Crochet Hat?

I’ve been curious as to how to put an image on a crochet hat myself, and I think I’ve FINALLY cracked the code. I use the free chart making website, Stitch Fiddle, to do this.

I make an image on Stitch Fiddle, in this case the Pokeball, and I substitute each square on the chart as 1 single crochet in the hat.

Now, you have to make sure that your image isn’t very big or you’ll have a ginormous, wonky looking crochet hat. Single crochets are also the only way to get your image to work without it getting too distorted (half double crochets and double crochets will make the image too “skinny”). Single crochets have a 1:1 ratio, meaning that they are as tall as they are wide.

I also think it’s best to get an idea of how big your hat needs to be by crocheting until you’ve reached your desired crown diameter and then single crochet a short row (like only make 3 or 4 single crochets, turn and ch 1, etc.) on the hat until you’ve reached the appropriate length for your crown diameter size.

Look at the amount of rows you single crocheted until the desired length and then count how many you have. That is how many squares long your image can be. The total amount of single crochets you have after you’ve reached your crown diameter is how wide your image can be.

In the case of the Crochet Pokeball Hat Pattern, I’ve increased until I had a total of 56 stitches. Measured out, I was able to have about 14 rows or 14 squares high to fit an image before the hat would be too long.The Pokeball image is 12 squares high and 12 squares wide, which was the perfect size to fit an image in the middle of the crochet hat.

What is the Crown Diameter and How Do I Find It for My Hat?

The crown diameter is how wide your hat needs to be before you start lengthening. You crochet by increasing stitches in every round until you reach your crown diameter.

It seems like many crochet hat chart sizes have different recommendations for crown diameter and length based on age. To obtain a truly accurate measurement, obtain your head circumference with a tape measure or a piece of string (and then measure the string on a ruler). Take your head circumference number and divide it by 3.14, this is your crown diameter.

Will this Pattern Work for Other Hat Sizes?

Yes, the Crochet Pokeball Hat technically can be worked for other head sizes (except for newborn). The pattern I have available is made for a 1-3 month old…but you can increase until you hit your crown diameter (as explained above), and use the chart below to place your pokeball, but increase on each side of the pokeball to accommodate the increase in total stitches. You will also have to add a few more rounds below the pokeball to obtain an appropriate length.

How Do I Change Yarn Colors?

Switch yarn colors the square before the needed color change. This post explains how to color change the right way for this crochet hat pattern. You want to single crochet up to the square before the color change, but don’t finish it all the way! Place the new color on your hook and pull through, proceed to crochet with the new color.

Round 21: Ch 1, 1 sc in next 4 sts, sc2tog around, sl st into first st (40 sts)

Cut yarn with scissors, weave in ends with tapestry needle.

Pom Pom:

To make a pom pom out of yarn, cut a long length of yarn (about 12 inches or so) and set aside.
Wrap the yarn around four fingers about 70 times (or until you’re happy with the thickness of your pom pom).
Carefully slide the yarn off your fingers and onto the string of yarn you cut first. Tie the yarn tightly around the bulk of the yarn you wrapped.
Use your scissors to cut the loops made on both sides. Trim up any long pieces.
Sew the pom pom into the center of the hat with tapestry needle.

Crochet Pikachu Table Runner Part 4/4

by strommercrafts / August 30, 2022

Hey there everyone, today I have Part 4 of the Crochet Pikachu Table Runner for you today, plus the border!

At this point, Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 should be completed.

We are still using the 3DC method of filet crocheting in this pattern, and I will continue to describe how many open and closed squares you should have in a row.

Remember: an open square consists of a DC, CH1, skip a st, and DC, and a closed square is 3DC in a row.

As always, the PDF chart of the Crochet Pikachu Table Runner is available below, I highly encourage looking at the chart to help visualize the open and closed square placements. The black squares = closed squares and the white squares = open squares.

DON’T CUT YOUR YARN.

You now have the main part of the crochet Pikachu Table Runner completed.

I highly suggest crocheting the border on the table runner, as it gives it a polished look and a nice vintage vibe.

***Please note that the stitches on the long side before the corner will not line up evenly like on the short side***. This makes the border slightly off on those sides. I’ve made adjustments to the pattern to make it less noticeable, and when you’re finished it will be difficult to tell.

Here is a diagram of the pattern for the border I used.

Border:

Row 1: Turn, ch 1, (sc, ch 1, sc) in same st, sc in each st and ch 1 space across, (sc, ch 1, sc) in the corner spaces. Repeat on all sides. When crocheting down the sides of the table runner, sc in top of dc or ch 3 and in the middle of the “leg” of the dc or in one of the chs in the ch 3. Sl st to the first sc.

Row 2: Sl st into ch 1 space of corner (sc, ch 3, sc), sc in next 4 sts, *(ch 3, skip a st, sc in next st x3 times), sc in next 3 sts.* Repeat from *to* until you’ve reached the corner, sc in next st, (sc, ch 3, sc) in ch 1 corner space. Continue down the next side, after the very last (sc, ch 3, sc), sc in next 6 sts. Create the next (sc, ch 3, sc )corner in the ch 1 space. Continue until the last corner, after last (sc, ch 3, sc), sc in next 4 sts, sl st into first sc made.

Row 3: Ch 1, sc in same st, sc in next st, (sc, ch 5, sc) in ch 3 corner space. Sc in next st, *ch 5, skip 4 sts and sc into next ch 3 space, ch 3, sc into next ch 3 space, ch 3 and sc into last ch 3 space.* Repeat from *to,* until next corner. Ch 5, skip 4 sts, sc into next st, (sc, ch 5, sc) into next ch 3 corner space. Sc into next st and repeat from *to* again down the next side. At the next corner, ch 5, skip 7 sts, sc into next st. Continue until last corner, sl st into first sc made.

Row 4: Ch 1, sc in same st, sl st into ch 5 corner space, ch 3 (counts as dc), make 4 dc in same space, make ch 3 picot, make 4 more dc in same space, sc in next st. *4 dc in next ch 5 space, ch 3 picot, 4 more dc in ch 5 space, sc in next ch 3 space, ch 3, sc in next ch 3 space.* Repeat from *to* until next corner. Continue all the way around, make sure to sc in st prior to and after corner spaces, sl st into first sc made.

Cut yarn with scissors, weave in end with tapestry needle.

Pat yourself on the back for making it all the way to the end!

Crochet Pikachu Table Runner Part 3/4

by strommercrafts / August 10, 2022

Hey everyone, today I have Part 3 of the Crochet Pikachu Table Runner Pattern available for you! You should have Part 1 and Part 2 completed by this point.

If you are not familiar, I am using a technique called filet crochet to make this table runner. More specifically, the 3DC method of filet crochet.

Again, I will be describing the stitches as I did in Part 2. That is, I will be discussing where to place an open and closed square.

Remember: An open square consists of a DC, CH1, skip a st, DC. A closed square consists of 3 DC in a row.

Crochet Pikachu Table Runner Part 2/4

by strommercrafts / July 26, 2022

If you’ve completed Part 1/4 of the Crochet Pikachu Table Runner, you should be able to make open and closed squares without difficulty. I will be changing how I describe the following rows in part 2-4. Instead of describing the placement of CH1s and DCs, I’m going to tell you where to place open or closed squares.

Remember:

An open square consists of a series of (DC, CH1, skipping a ST or CH1 space, DC)
A closed square consists of a series of 3 DC, with the 2nd DC being in a ST or CH1 space.

You can download a PDF of the crochet Pikachu Table Runner below. I highly recommend looking at the chart as you go.

Another reminder; read this chart up and down and towards the right. Black squares = closed squares and white squares = open squares in this chart.

The CH4 counts as a DC and CH1 for each row.

Crochet Pikachu Table Runner Pattern Part 1/4

by strommercrafts / July 19, 2022

Hello everyone, I’m excited to show off my latest crochet pattern…a Crochet Pikachu Table Runner! I’ve been in love with using small crochet thread by Red Heart Super Saver recently (which is how I made this piece).

I’ve decided to make this crochet pikachu table runner a 4 part series, this first part will be fairly long, however that is to get you used to the filet crochet technique I’m using here. I will link the parts later in this post once they are complete.

Click here for Part 4.

The funny thing about this pattern is that I was actually trying to figure out how I could make a pikachu doily instead…but it turned out to be WAY too difficult for me to do. I just couldn’t get pikachu small enough to make out all the necessary details in the doily. However, the Crochet Pikachu Table Runner Pattern was born!

It will be helpful if you know how to filet crochet already, but if you don’t, no worries. I have the crochet math figured out for you, and after a few rows, you’ll get the hang of it!

If you’re a visual person, there’s a PDF download of the chart I used below. The white color = open squares and the black color = closed squares. Keep in mind that this chart reads differently than previous charts I’ve created. Instead of crocheting left to right and working up, you will need to crochet up and down and to the right if looking at the chart.

Why would I do it this way? It might seem a little confusing to read it like this (and you can always print the PDF out and turn it), but this helps prevent a lot of frogging if you mess up. It is super not fun to pull out a long row of crochet because you misplaced 1 closed block, but if it happens on the short side, it doesn’t hurt as bad (in my opinion anyways).

Stick around for the border too! I think the border completes this piece and gives it a vintage crochet vibe that I was shooting for. Borders just make crochet pieces look so much better, but they’re always optional.

Materials:

White Crochet Thread from Red Heart Super Saver Size 10, 1000 yards x 1
1.65 mm crochet hook – I actually bought this set because I could not for the life of me, find a single 1.65 mm crochet hook in store.
Scissors
Tapestry Needle
Stitch Marker (optional, but helpful in the beginning. You can also use a paperclip or a scrap piece of yarn)

Size:

My table runner ended up being about 10.5 in x 58 in

Please note that your size may differ depending on your tension.

Time to Complete:

The Crochet Pikachu Table Runner Pattern took me about 2 weeks of inconsistent crocheting to complete. Your time may vary.

Abbreviations:

Please note that these are in US terms not UK.

ST(s) – stitch(es)
SL ST – slip stitch
CH – chain
SC – single crochet
DC – double crochet
CH3 PICOT – chain 3 stitches, slip stitch in last stitch made

Important Notes:

The Math: 38 squares x2 = 76+4 chs. The +4 is for the turning ch plus a ch 1.
The filet crochet method used for this pattern includes the 3DC method. That means that a total of 3 DC makes an open or closed square.
The CH3’s at the beginning of the row counts as a DC.
At the end of the rows, I have included the words up and down. This is based on looking the PDF chart.
The border makes a beautiful finish, however the stitches on the long side before the corner, will not line up evenly like on the short side. This makes the border slightly off on those sides. I’ve made adjustments to the pattern to make it less noticeable, and when you’re finished it will be difficult to tell.

If you make this pattern and post to social media, please don’t forget to tag me on Instagram @strommercrafts! Please do not claim this pattern as your own.

Crochet Umbreon Hat – Free Crochet Pattern

by strommercrafts / April 30, 2021

Hey everyone! I decided to whip up another Pokémon themed crochet hat based off of my favorite dark type, Umbreon!

I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn to complete this project, but feel free to use a brand of your choice as long as it’s a medium worsted weight yarn (#4).

The hat pictured above is sized for a teen/small adult (about a 20 inch head circumference and the hat is about 7.75-8 inches tall). If you’re familiar with crocheting hats, you can adjust the size and length of the hat as needed. I have a hat chart here if you need a reference to adjust your hat size accordingly.

The ears are roughly 7 inches tall and about 6.75 inches in circumference, but yours might be slightly bigger or smaller, it just depends on how tight or loose you like to crochet and how firmly you stuff the ear.
