Pandemic Puzzle Ball

"I'm having some fun with the name of this thing, because I suspect that the usual names it goes by — Montessori ball, Amish puzzle ball — are not entirely indicative of its actual origins. I could be wrong about that, of course, but in these crazy times of 2020, I like to call this my pandemic puzzle ball. The finished ball is assembled out of three separate "rings". A fun project that will also be a learning opportunity to sew small curves and practice ladder stitching. Template included!"
NotesExcellent scrap-busting project!
