Each rnd of Granny Square is worked using a different yarn color, following Color Sequences. Change yarn color by fastening off old color and joining new color, as instructed.
Base and Top are also worked in joined and turned rnds.
Granny Squares are sewn together to make a cylinder. Base is sewn to the bottom of the cylinder. Piece is stuffed, then Top is sewn to top of cylinder.
