Materials: ( I used )
5 mm crochet hook
Light weight/ DK yarn: self-striping ( about 150 gr for the sample – size L/ 100 gr or 393 yds per skein )

Beads
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 the 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 🙂
Special stitches used:
V stitch: ( dc, ch1, dc ) into same stitch or space.
