MATERIAL:

• 3.5mm / US E-4 crochet hook, 2.75mm / US C-2 crochet hook (for the bauble cap)
• Yarn: #4 / Aran / light worsted yarn, 80% cotton 20% Milk Fiber, in light pink, grey, red, white (I use a local shop yarn, an equivalent would be Paintbox Cotton Aran, but keep the 3.5mm hook to obtain tight stitches and avoid the fiberfill to show)
• A small piece of fluffy white yarn like the Bernat Pipsqueak Whitey White
• Golden yarn or decorative string to tie the bow, make the top of the bauble and embroider stars on the bauble (the one I use is Milford Metallic, but there are alternatives like Rico Design Creative Lamé Gold, or I've found the Clisil Gold Lurex Yarn on Amazon that looks very similar).
• Fiberfill
• Two pairs of 6mm safety eyes
• Tapestry needle
• Stitch marker(s) (or a piece of thread to mark your round beginning)
