Materials: ( I used )
3mm crochet hook
Sport weight yarn: pink, white, and grey shade ( about 500 gr/ 2 balls for the sample – size S&M/250 gr or 1093 yds per ball )
( Check out my Yarn shop – free worldwide shipping )
Yarn needle
Scissors
Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/ round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into same stitch (counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/ round, so just choose your best technique 🙂
