Materials & Supplies Needed.

Yarn

You will need worsted yarn. You can buy any worsted yarn or use any category 4 yarn you have in your stash. This however don’t limit you to use any other yarn that is not worsted. Just ensure the hook you use is the right size for the yarn of choice.

Hooks

I suggest you use the recommended hook size for the yarn you’re using. If worsted yarn, use a 5.0mm hook.

Notions

These are pair of scissors and a darning needle.
