Knitting a Ball

I’ve seen many patterns on knitting a ball, but I have tried them, and none of them have come out right. For instance, the ones where you knit until the last few stitches and turn your work, then at the end knit all the way across, I always end up with holes and gaps, and filling it with stuffing looks awful!

Does anyone know how to go about fixing this problem, or better yet have a pattern for a knit ball that they know is foolproof? I’ve been looking for one that is knit in the round, but I have yet to find one

Thank You in advanced :heart: :heart: :heart:

Try one of these,no turning needed
