Materials
Double Knitting Yarn (Rainbow colours)
2 x 2.50 or 3mm needles 
large eyed sewing needle
Washable wadding suitable for childrens toys.

Cast on 10 stitches, using thinner needles than normal, so that rows and stitches do not gape and are tighter together.
Knit 10 rows in each of 4 colours.
Cast off. (pic.1)

On second square down, cast on 10 stitches along right-hand edge,
and knit another 10 rows. Cast off. (Pic.2)
Repeat this on the opposite side, so you have a crucifix shape. (Pic.3 and 4)

On the wrong side, stitch the seams into a cube shape, leaving 'the lid' with one side un-stitched and open.  
Turn right side out.  
Stuff with wadding, so ball is stuffed but still soft. 
Stitch up remaining seam. (pic.4) - to complet ball.
