5.0mm hook.
The result is a ball about 5" in diameter.
The diameter increases more slowly, the more you crochet.
Be prepared to use at least one full ball of yarn. -

You may start this project with any start you usually use to crochet in the round, and with any number of stitches that seems comfortable. , Don't worry if the first ring or two doesn't look like much.
Go ahead and join rounds.
