Finished Size: height → 14” Diameter → 3”

Hook: H/8-5.00MM

Yarn: Use a medium weight 4t, soft, shiny yarn for accent colors (Soft Secret by Yarn Bee). You can really use whatever scrap yarn you have for accent colors.

For the white, I used a coarse, medium weight, cotton yarn. This is much stronger and less stretchy.
