Pattern has photos, and there is a video tutorial. 
I’ve made several sizes using different sized hooks, and yarns. The smallest size (which came to about 20 inches around,) was made using a “B” hook and worsted weight yarn. 
The 2 middle size (which came to about 21 and 22 inches) were made using a “B” and “D” hook and Aran weight yarn. 
The largest size (which came to about 23 inches) was made using an “E” hook and Aran weight yarn. 
I used 2 different colors of Aran or worsted weight yarns (black and white). I only used about half a skein of white yarn, and used some scraps of black yarn, because it didn’t require much black. I used between 100 and 160 yards of wht (depending on the size) and between 20 and 40 yards of black.The Aran brand I used was Red Heart brand, and the worsted weight I used was Caron Simply Soft, because I had it on hand, but if you prefer a different brand you could use any. 
The last part of the pattern is a bit complex but there is a video tutorial you can watch to help with some of the more tricky bits. Find that tutorial here:
