Balloons needlepoint patterns

Balloons: a bunch of three, each an oval a little narrower at the bottom with a small knot, and a dog twisted from one long party balloon.

The three are tied together by their strings with a bow, and the bunch is drawn in several styles. All are four inches square on 18 mesh, and most can be made round. Each balloon is a smooth oval with a gleam, so count the outline first; most are marked beginner.
