American Terms
Difficulty: Comfortable Beginner
Comfortable with rows and round changes, increasing and decreasing, chain bumps, single crochet, and skipped stitches.
Yarns I used:
I used Paintbox Aran weight yarn, however you can use any size you desire, just adjust your hook to ensure there are no gaps in your stitches. The bigger the weight the larger the result will be.
***** A NOTE ON YARNS*****
Almost all of the yarns I use in my stash has been given to me, so they vary widely. However I suggest the same weight, and if possible the same brand if you are buying new skeins, of at least 3.5 oz of each color. This ensures that each piece will match in size and shape as “medium weight” can vary from brand to brand.
Colors needed for pieces: I suggest two but use what inspires you!
