This was one of my first projects, and it came out great! As a beginner, it took me about 2 months to make. The pattern was very easy. I followed the pattern for the largest size, and 3 balls was enough for me.
The only thing I would have done differently is that I wouldn't have knitted the last rows of garter stitch before binding off because it added a wider boarder. I would have rather bound off after the pattern so that when I sewed it together I would still have an even border (see photo).
