Another variation on the pattern I just tested - this time I offset the beads one stitch each row to create a swirl. I used a 3” styrofoam base, and it was a really tight squeeze. I think if I used this yarn/ball combo again, I would add about 2 repeats and perhaps one more row of beads to make it a little easier to apply to the ball. Again - child proof and fun! Thanks Sonia!
