Materials: ( I used )
3mm crochet hook
Sport weight yarn: dark fuchsia ( color A ) and pink ( color B ) ( 200 gr for the sample – size S and M/ 50 gr or 136 yds per skein )
( 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 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:
2dc-V stitch: ( 2dc, ch1, 2dc ) into same stitch or space.
