Finished size: One size fits most. About 18-20” in circumference by 3.5-4.5” high

Yarn weight note* Since the variation in yarn weight is so great (even within the same general category such as ‘super bulky’), I have a trick to let me know if the yarn I want to use is close to the yarn in the example. I divide the yards in a skein by the weight of that skein in grams, giving me a yds/gm unit that I can then easily use to compare yarn. I will include this number below to help you pick your ideal yarn for this project!*
