Developmental Ball

I found this pattern online and, believe it or not, followed it pretty closely to make another toy for my daughter. I did make the mistake of putting it in the washing machine instead of hand washing it, which flattened it a bit. She still loves it, though!
I crocheted this with white and red cotton yarn. The red yarn was one deviation from the pattern. I figured it would be just as eye catching as the black and white, but a little happier and using the yarn I had on hand.
