Pattern

MAIN BODY OF PADDLE (Make 2: Color A for top, Color B for bottom)

With Color A (or B), ch 2
Row 1: Work 6 sc into 2nd ch from hook. Ch 1, turn.
Row 2: 2 sc in each st across. (12 sts) Ch 1, turn.
Row 3: (Sc, inc) across (18 sts). Ch 1, turn.
Row 4: (2 sc, inc) across (24 sts). Ch 1, turn.
Row 5: (3 sc, inc) across (30 sts). Ch 1, turn.
Row 6: (4 sc, inc) across (36 sts). Ch 1, turn.
Row 7: (5 sc, inc) across (42 sts). Ch 1, turn.
Row 8-10: Sc in each st across for desired paddle length and fullness; repeat turning and working back and forth for a total of 10 rows (or until the paddle is as wide as needed).
FO, leave a long tail on one piece for assembly.

Repeat for second side of paddle.

ASSEMBLY & STIFFENER

Align the two paddle pieces WS together.
Place stiffener/shaping strip between layers, aligned to the edge.
With Color A or B, join yarn at any edge, sc around the circle to join both pieces, encasing the stiffener/strip inside.
- If the strip is not flexible, sew pieces together first with a tapestry needle.
- At base (where handle will begin), do not close with sc yet; this will be left open for handle.

HANDLE

Join chosen color (Color B or an accent color) at the base opening.
Row 1: Sc 6-8 evenly along the open base edge.
Rows 2-X: Ch 1, turn. Sc across. Repeat until handle reaches preferred length (typically 10-12 rows).
- For a thicker handle, work more rows and consider slip stitching around edges for a tidy look.
Lightly stuff handle if desired before closing. FO, sew tip closed.

CONNECTING PIECE (If used, for decorative detailing)

With contrasting color, ch to desired length (matches paddle width where handle meets).
Sl st across, or work a row of sc to create a flat strip. Attach at base of paddle where top and bottom halves meet, covering the join for extra neatness.

FINAL EDGING (Optional)

RS facing you, work a surface round of sc or slip stitch around the paddle and handle base for an outlined look.
Embroider with pearl cotton as desired for added detail.

PING PONG BALL

- MR, 6 sc in ring.

- Rounds 3-4: Sc in each st around.
- Round 5: (sc, dec) around (8 sts).

- Round 6: Dec around (4 sts).
- FO, sew hole closed, weave in ends.

Conclusion

Your mini ping pong paddle and ball set are complete! This clever little project makes a delightful gift for players, keychain, or as decor for a sports fan. Adjust size by upping the yarn weight and hook, or keep miniature for detailed collectibles.

Pattern Correction

Rows and increases can be adjusted for shape; ensure both paddle halves are identical for a neatly layered look.
Stiffener should be flexible but firm enough to hold the paddle flat.

Tips

Use a strong but thin stiffener strip for best feel without bulk.
When joining, keep stitches consistent in tightness for an even edge.
For extra realism, embroider fine details or add a logo with pearl cotton or embroidery floss.
