....probably because I'm so busy with school and work that there is no blogging time left in the schedule! Doesn't mean I've not found time to crochet, though.
These funny F Bombs are the latest thing I've made, at the request of someone who saw one I made for my sister. They work up quickly and are just fun to toss around, I think. Shockingly, I actually typed the pattern up and put it up for people to use if they need directions for creating the ball of the bomb.
F
bomb
sc = single crochet
inc = increase (two
sc in one stitch)
dec = decrease
(crochet two sc together)
I like using the
magic ring to begin the ball, but you can chain 2, then sc 6 in first chain if
you prefer
Row
1: Magic ring, sc x 6 in ring (6)
Row
2: inc in each stitch around (12)
Row
3: (1 sc, inc) repeat x 5 (18)
Row
4: (2 sc, inc) repeat x 5 (24)
Row
5: (3 sc, inc) repeat x 5(30)
Row
6: (4 sc, inc) repeat x 5 (36)
Row
7: (5 sc, inc) repeat x 5 (42)
Row
8: sc around (42)
Row
9L 6 sc, inc) repeat x 5 (48)
Row
10: sc around (48)
Row
11: (7 sc, inc) repeat x 5 (54)
Row
12: sc around (54)
Row
13: (8 sc, inc) repeat x 5 (60)
Row
14-18: sc around (60)
Row
19: (8 sc, dec) repeat x 5 (54)
Row
20: sc around (54)
Row
21: (7 sc, dec) repeat x 5 (48)
Row
22: sc around (48)
Row
23: (6 sc, dec) repeat x 5 (42)
Row
24: sc around (42) Begin stuffing ball
Row
25: (5 sc, dec) repeat x 5 (36)
Row
26: (4 sc, dec) repeat x 5 (30)
Row
27: (3 sc, dec) repeat x 5 (24)
Row
28: (2 sc, dec) repeat x 5 (18)
Row
29: (1 sc, dec) repeat x 5 (12) Finish stuffing ball before final decreases
Row
30: dec x 6 (6)
Row
31: dec x 3, finish off.
Bomb top
Row 1:
magic ring, sc x 6 in ring (6)
Row 2: inc
in each stitch around (12)
Row 3: (1
sc, inc) repeat x 5 (18)
Row 4: sc
around in back loop of each stitch (18)
Row 5-7:
sc around (18) finish off
Pull a
small scrap of white yarn through center of magic ring on bomb top and tie a
knot so that it doesn’t pull through.
Tie another knot near end of yard, leaving some at the very end to
fray. Stuff bomb top lightly and sew to
top of ball.
F shape
Sew F onto
front of bomb. Then drop it. :-)

Great idea...I can see me running to get my f bomb and smashing it at who ever made me f mad.
yes, a more acceptable way of dropping the f bomb when you're angry!
Absolutely! I am selling them myself and am 100% behind any fellow crocheter being able to make extra yarn money with them. Thanks for asking, very thoughtful!
What size hook did you use?
It depends on the yarn. I usual go one size smaller than the recommended hook size on the yarn label to make it a nice and tight fabric.
Omg I love it! I made my hubby one using freehand and yours looks so much better than mine so I'm going to use your pattern. Thanks!
Is this worked in the round?
yes, it is.
What would you charge for one of these?
Thank you for sharing! These are awesome!!!
Thank you for sharing this pattern. I love it! It's going to make some great gag gifts!
Does anyone have a cute little poem that could go along with this? It would be super cute for some colleagues for Christmas!
Thank you for sharing. Just have to do the F. It will be in my son's stocking��
Love this and making one but please help on the F. Row 5 I’m so confused. Is there a video or picture how to do??
This is absolutely brilliant! I have used this pattern and made several different kinds of bombs. Thank you so much for this awesome pattern!
Years ago I was met at the office door by a co-worker who clearly had been waiting for me. His question, maybe my favorite ever: "Can you knit an asshole?" We sat down and spec'd it out like the programmers we were, and I made about a dozen that we used as awards for various things. Winners who already had one were given hemorrhoid clusters (winterberry picks from the craft store). To people not in the know, like management, we said they were coasters.
Sorry is that 5 rows of (1sc,inc)?
Love it. Made one in a couple hours. Thanks
I would check with the owner of that pattern about a video. I just borrowed the pattern for my oroject!
no, it is (1sc,inc) then repeated 5 times in that row to increase the diameter.
thanks! they *are* fun little projects!
What do you use for stuffing it?
What does it mean on each row repeat time 5
What do use to stuff it?
Best pattern I have found! I'm adding to my offerings for sale as well, how do you want to be credited on packaging?
Any pattern that says "repeat" wants you to repeat whatever instructions are in the (parentheses), in this case 5 times, before continuing the rest of the pattern It looks like in this pattern, that repetition is what makes up the entire row as you work in circles. Hope that helps! ^_^
I'm using 4 ply yarn and g hook. They are pretty good size. What size yarn did you use for the ones in the picture?
I made one for a friend and she loves it. So did her friends and family. Is it ok if I make some to sell, I’ve had a bunch of requests. Thanks.
With red heart super saver and Caron pound of love, I have found 4 works if you tend to hook loosely and 4.5 or 5 if you are a tight hooker and it comes out perfect.
What is the”Magic Circle” ?

They look great ! I really want to try this...
I’m baby blanket level, but sure want to try.
These are hilarious! A super fun project to improve my crochet technique.
I’m impressed, I need to say. Really hardly ever do I encounter a weblog that’s each educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you've hit the nail on the head. Your concept is outstanding; the difficulty is one thing that not enough persons are speaking intelligently about. I am very joyful that I stumbled across this in my search for one thing referring to this. online casinos
How much do you charge for these when you sell them? I have a couple of co-workers who have asked for them. I have seen other patterns but like yours the best!
What hook size is used?
I use a size smaller than whatever is the recommended hook size for whatever yarn I choose to use.
Love this pattern!! Thank you for sharing and hope you are well, T. 🧶
