I made 1/2 inch finished yo yos once for grapes on an appliqué blocks. I think my circles started at 1 and 1/4 inches? I used strong hand quilting thread to sew the 1/4 inch under at the top and the thread was strong enough to form the yo yo and knot. If I remember correctly, I pinned one edge to my ironing board and used a pin to pull out the edge circle shape so it would lay flat.
