Make them in big sizes by using these kinds of yarns.

  • For a better result, use single crochet cross stitch (yarn under) and invisible single crochet decrease stitch unless otherwise specified.
  • Work in a continuous spiral.

Besides the basic crochet stitches I mentioned above, you will need to learn to use this crochet stitch, puff stitch. I used it many times in these crochet Christmas ornaments.
