Attention! You can choose another yarn for

crocheting the bauble. You would need to change
the number of rows of the bauble. For thicker yarn
you need to crochet less rounds.
I started working with crocheting the bauble. In

if you choose thicker yarn for crocheting the Bull,
then the size of the bauble would have to be
changed for a bigger one.
