I venture to guess that if you follow the pattern, you could make balls 4.5 inches, 5.5inches, etc.
Get creative. Make a ball scarf, Amigurumi, what ever.....
Share what you make. I want to see it.

These truly are absurd. I can't get over them. What kind of yarn did you use?
It looks like cotton wool stuck onto a balloon.

The yarn is "Patons Mosaic" in Pottery. I purchased it on clearance for $.50 a skein. I am cheap like that. The fabric makeup is 66% Acrylic and 34% Nylon.
