You can make these creepy Halloween Mummy decorations in three different sizes
They are knitted around ball pool balls and ping pong balls.

Small – 12.5 mm (ping pong/table tennis ball)
Medium – 17 mm (small ball pool ball, mine were from pound shops in net bags of 15.
Large – 20 mm (regular size ball pool ball which I have found in supermarkets and charity shops.)
They are a great way to recycle old toys.

The yardage includes all the yarn. The smallest mummy takes approximately 5 grams (19 yards) Medium 8 grams (30 yards) and the large 10 grams (37 yards)

Skills you will need are cast on, cast off, knit, purl, knit/purl two together (decrease), knit/purl in front and back of stitch (increase) joining in a second colour and carrying first at back of work. They are very short rows and this is a good pattern to practice this technique if you haven’t tried before.
