To make a Hot Air Balloon you will need:

Any small amount of yarn for the balloon and an even smaller amount of a contrasting colour for the basket.
I used Rico Creative cotton, which is an aran weight yarn.

Each finished balloon measures approximately 6cm x 3.5cm however your finished balloon may be bigger or smaller depending on the yarn you use.

I used a 4mm hook, but use the correct one for the weight of yarn you are using.

You will also need a darning needle.

Gauge is not important as long as it is consistent.
