Frequently asked questions

How do I keep the globe from distorting into an oval?

For rounds 7-19, do not carry the yarn across the back. Cut and rejoin each color at every change so the floats don't pull the sphere out of shape.

How many colors and rounds does this pattern use?

It uses four colors (Royal Blue, Willow Green, Wheat, and Pure White) across 26 rounds, with the exact color specified for every single stitch.

Is this beginner-friendly?

The shaping is straightforward, but the round-by-round, stitch-by-stitch color map demands careful counting and color management, so it suits crocheters comfortable with colorwork.
