If you see the picture above, you will see that the rule for attaching parts of a soccer ball are simple. Each Pentagon has 5 hexagons attached to it; and each Hexagon has 3 Hexagons attached on alternate sides and 3 pentagons attached on the remaining 3 sides. Sew motifs together and stuff generously with poly-fil before closing! Make the Brazilian flag out of felt and glue or sew it to the any green pentagon.
This fun crocheted Brazilian soccer ball will make a great gift for the soccer fans.
