Crochet Sphere (circumference 100 st)

Instructions:

• Work the rows in spiral pattern.
• Increases are marked with inc, decreases with dec (inc = two single crochets in the next
  stitch; dec = single crochet decrease).
• When multiple increase/decrease is needed, this is indicated with a number following the code;
  for example inc2 means a double increase, or three single crochet in the next stitch.
• For best result use invisible decreases.
• The sphere is calculated to be round when the filling is tightly packed; if under-filled the shape
  may be elongated and distorted. If this happens, just add a bit more filling.
