{Adjust
the Ch 9s in round 8 as needed - between 5 to 15 each ch - depending on your
tension and the size of your ball. Less chains will be tighter to the ball. Too
tight and it will not stretch around the ball.}
Finishing: Using a whip stitch, thread a piece of
yarn through all 10 loops in round 8. Wrap cover around ball, pull the yarn
tight and tie the ends together.
