I love to travel and I’m amazed by our natural world, so it made perfect sense to me that I create a Crocheted Earth.
This pattern is worked in the round and requires minimal sewing up. The globe pattern starts at the south pole and is crocheted in the round up to the north pole.
This Crochet Earth is the perfect size for throwing, as it is a great ball size!
I’ve given this to kids to play with many times.
This size of ball is also ideal for decorations. I would suggest adding polly pellets or some kind of weighted things to the bottom of it and using it as a desk decoration.
The trickiest part of this crochet pattern is changing colour.
There are times where you don’t use the green yarn for some time (like when you crochet the Pacific), so you need to carry the unused colour behind the used colour and crochet over your unused color every 3 or 4 stitches.
This pattern doesn’t require too much yarn, so it is a perfect way to use up leftover blue, green and white yarn that you have in your stash.
If you’ve crocheted any amigurumi project before, then you can easily handle crocheting this little earth.
The pattern is available to buy on Ravelry and Lovecrafts.

I recommend Addi Swing, as it’s an ergonomic hook and it suits my style of crocheting – which is like holding a knife or buy a standard crochet hook.

Something amazing happened in 2017, Simply Crochet Magazine wanted to write an article about me!
They wanted to know what one of my favourite designs was and I was absolutely going to talk about this one.
Once I designed my Crochet Globe I was inspired to create my Crochet Solar System Mobile, which was first published in Simply Crochet Magazine.
I was absolutely over the moon! It had been a big dream of mine to have a design in Simply Crochet, so when it happened it was pretty surreal. The feature about me was also in the same issue.
I would love to see your pictures of this design on Instagram, please tag me @ruthhaydock and use the hashtag #ruthhaydockdesigns
