Tie a ribbon through the whole in the top of the ball, then Insert the bell and stuff if you have enough room. The 1" bells I use are those you found at the craft store around Christmas time and fit inside the ball without stuffing, however if you put in a smaller bell you will have enough room for stuffing(polyfill/roving).
Row 12 decrease, decrease, 2 sts per needle (total of 6 needles)
Row 13 knit around
Pull end of thread through all sts and close off and tie around ribbon.
My cat loves to have a tail to grab to carry around the bell through the home.
