Realistic Solar System Mobile
Attempt to do a more or less scientifically correct solar system. Planet sizes and colors approximated from astronomical data. Still, it is not 100 percent realistic ;-)
All spheres are worked in single crochet (sc). 
Once you come to the last couple of rows, start stuffing. 
After the last decrease row, fasten off, cut yarn to about 20cm. Using a wool needle, sew into each stitch, pulling tight so that the hole closes. Weave in ends.
Planet Rows Colors used
Mercury 16 grey multicolor 
Venus 16 beige multicolor 
Earth 30 dark blue, green, ice blue 
Mars 20 rust 
Jupiter 40 brown multicolor 
Saturn 20 beige multicolor + sand (for rings) 
Uranus 26 blue multicolor 
Neptune 20 dark blue + ice blue (for rings) 
Pluto 10 silver grey
