Someday I'm going to use up some of my scrap yarn and make myself a katamari. Thankfully I can skip the difficult part, which is figuring out how to actually make the Katamari, and get right to the stitching. Mostly.Becky made this one with a mix of Sugar 'n' Cream and Red Heart yarns. I really like the size of it, perfect for throwing around with a friend, or bowling down a few household objects. Want the Pattern?
Mostly.Becky has posted the pattern for free over on Craftster, where you can also see another picture that shows her katamari in action.
And if this katamari isn't to your taste, don't forget about these other free Katamari Damacy patterns I've blogged about here.

This is awesome! I think I'll make one for my nephew - I let him play KD at my house and ended up having to buy him his own copy because he loved it so much. :) Thanks for posting!
Like many who work with yarn, I need to feel and fondle yarn before I purchase it. As a person with mild Asperger's, I am very sensitive to texture, and usually dislike working with acrylics and regular wool. I've found several Loops & Threads yarns that I enjoy working with, especially if I go with a needle or hook size a little larger than recommended.
L&T Elegance, Luxury and Charisma all work up nicely, with a lovely drape and soft feel against the skin.
Unfortunately, all of our local Michael's stores have done the "revamp" in the needlework department, leaving us yarn-oholics with fewer options of brands and colors. With the closing of my favorite LYS, and with buying yarn online being too stressful for me, I am stuck with what I can find.
Now, if Michael's would just restock L&T's Luxury....
