Did knitted spheres instead of pompoms for the peas:
Judy’ s Magic Cast On 120 st (60 onto each tip of a circ. needle)
work first 60 st with 4 dpn then join to work in the round, leaving the 60 left st live on the cable of circ. needle

work 4 rounds in stockinette
work 1 round with 4 decreases ( 56 st )
work 4 rounds in stockinette
work 1 round with 4 decreases ( 52 st )
work 2 rounds in stockinette
work 1 round with 4 decreases ( 48 st )
work 2 rounds in stockinette
work 1 round with 8 decreases ( 40 st )
work 2 rounds in stockinette
work 1 round with 8 decreases ( 32 st )
work 2 rounds in stockinette
work 1 round with 8 decreases ( 24 st )
work 1 round with 12 decreases ( 12 st )
Cut tail and thread through remaining loops. Pull tight and tie off. Weave in end.
Work exactly the same on the 60 left st.

I stuffed differently my 3 peas so that they end to be 3 different sizes.
