READ: Fat Little Water Bomb – FREE Pattern!!. PDF, EPUB online free reviews.

In my quest to find the best water balloon possible I have been making TONS of balloons! My other water balloon – (Splish Splash Water Balloon) have tighter stitches which absorb more water, and have a bigger splatter effect.

These were a HUGE hit at our family’s 4th of July cook-out! Kids and adults all had a blast!

The nice part about this Fat Little Water Bomb is that it’s rounded shape, and short stature make it fit right in the palm of your hand! The dense stitching make it super absorbent, super squishy, and so much fun to play with.

So, without further ado I present the pattern to you!

6 mm Crochet Hook
Bernat Blanket Yarn

Scissors
Yarn Needle

Terms Used:

dc – double crochet
hdc – half double crochet

You can go up in hook size, but there will be more gaps, and a less dense balloon.
