Are you ready for some football? This little crochet football would be the perfect addition to your Super Bowl party! It works up quickly, so you will have no problem whipping up a few before the big game! It is also a cute little accessory to my Newborn Football Hat pattern and Newborn Football Booties pattern.
The set would also make a wonderful gift set!
