I am attempting to recreate this drawer pull and cannot for the life of me recreate this top sphere. I’m sure it is simple but I can’t seem to get it. It is a sphere but the top has like concave sides to it. I’ve added a ar screenshot of what I have vs what I’m aiming for.

Start with the diameter sphere you’d like to make.  
This method applies to the other shapes of the drawer pull as well.
