You should now have a slightly boxy crocheted ball. A little below the middle circumference of the ball, you should see the line of loops that were left unworked in Rnd 11. Find the first stitch of this row and mark it with a stitch marker. Now turn the ball upside down.

Insert your crochet hook into the marked loop up from the bottom. Yarn over and pull through the loop, then yarn over and pull through again. Insert your hook back into the original marked loop again. Yarn over and pull through. Finally, yarn over and pull through both loops on your hook. You've now completed the first stitch of a new row.
