I found a pattern like that in an old (like 1980s) Vanna White book called Afghans All Around the House. The pattern was called Hugs and Kisses.

It seems no one actually answered your question about why to put a skein into a ball. You don’t have to if it is already packaged as shown in the 1st picture. You can pull from the center (yes, you may have a big wad pulled out, but it uses up quickly) and go on with your project. When you buy hanks at your LYS, those need to be wound into a ball to make them easy to use. I found out the hard way that winding one by yourself is not wise! Have them wound at the store upon purchase. Hope this helps.

I use Ziploc’s 2 Gallon to store my yarn skeins/balls. I tape the label on the INSIDE of the bag so I know what brand, color and yardage handy. I snip very small hole in a bottom corner to pull the yarn out of the bag. For small on the go projects I use a second bag to store the worked project. I just pull the starting end of the ball through the second bag turn the bag inside out and place it over the bag with my current color. Then when I need to stop I can turn the second bag that I pulled the yarn through right side out and place my hook, stitch counter, stitch marker and pattern in the “worked” bag. This lowers the chance for dust, pet hair, and accidents to spoil my work. Hope this helps.
