Useful information before starting
It is not essential to use the yarn and crochet hook indicated, but using a different yarn the dimensions could change. The way you work and stretch the yarn can also affect the final size.
The sun is worked in a spiral following the amigurumi technique, while the band and the rays are worked in a back and forth row.
At the base of the band and inside the sun, you can apply a 1 cm magnet, to secure the band in a circle around the curtain!
As an alternative to the magnet, you can use a button to attach to the base of the sun and make a loop in the lower part of the band, where the button will be inserted.
