However, the balls can also be knitted using a long circular needle (magic loop) or using two short circular needles - it’s up to you! Whichever way you prefer knitting the Christmas Balls, the size of the needles required is 3.5 mm \/ U.S. size 4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will also need a crochet hook size 3 mm \/ U.S. size D3 to make the hanging loops and a blunt embroidery needle to weave in the loose ends and to attach the hanging loops.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTUFFING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse 100% wool batting for stuffing because they make the balls firmer and suppler and they keep their shape. Although this material is more expensive, you will need less filling per ball. Choose natural white or beige colours.
