Tips

• Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of each round to keep track of your progress.
• Crochet tightly to prevent stuffing from showing through.
• For a perfect sphere, ensure you stuff firmly and evenly.
• Always crochet a gauge swatch to ensure your finished item matches the intended size.
