Materials: ( I used )
5.5 mm crochet hook
Worsted weight yarn: dark green ( about 300 gr for the sample – size M&L / 200 gr or 360 yds per skein )
( Check out my Yarn shop – free worldwide shipping )
Yarn needle
Scissors
Buttons
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 choose your best technique 🙂
