Materials: ( I used )
5mm crochet hook

Eyelash yarn: burgundy ( optional )

Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each round/row 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 round/row, so choose your best technique 🙂

      Hi,
      “inc dc” means 2 dc together/ 2 dc into same stitch. Please check the Abbreviations.
