Rated 3 out of 5 by from confused It says in materials use one ball, but in instructions it says you need many balls, how many do I need to buy?

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Fun to make Easy and fun to make. Looks nice. I used almost seven balls of raffia to make the medium-sized hat. The finished hat differs slightly from the one in the picture: there is only one raised band going around, rather than two, which I actually prefer, so that worked out well.
