Bernat Yarn Notes:

Knit only with the yarn lying between each puff ball. One stitch will be worked between each puff ball.

After each row, tug knitting downward to ease puff balls into place. Puff balls should lie in grid-like rows between sts.

One puff ball should lie vertically at the side of the knitting between the last st of the previous row and the first st of the next row.
