From the website: Children will love the Rainbow Playballs and Hot Air Balloon complete with basket and Finger Puppet passengers. The main parts of the balls and balloon are knitted in just one piece. The large Playball measures 38cm (15in) in circumference.

From the booklet: These playballs come in two sizes, using the same pattern. The larger call is knitted with two strands of yarn and the smaller ball in single yarn. Many variations can be made in different coloured stripes. The balloon is based on the same pattern as the large ball.
