Unleash your imagination with leftover yarn! These charming knitted balloons are not only a quick and fun project to make, but they are also a great way to use up those bits and pieces of yarn.

Depending on the yarn you choose, every project could have a completely different look and feel, making it uniquely yours.

GAUGE
Gauge is not crucial for this project, but you should work tight enough so the balloons are shaped well and the stuffing is not visible.

It takes up to 25-35 minutes to knit one balloon.
