About the pattern

Pentagon is a ball made of twelve identical five-sided panels, the geometry of a dodecahedron, which becomes round when stuffed. The panel template marks the corner dots where each seam stops, so the corners meet cleanly.

Two sizes: Small (about 11 cm across) and Large (about 17 cm).
