Pattern Notes
Queue & Favorite on Ravelry!
Chain 1 at beginning of row does NOT count as a stitch
I used 3 colors of Red Heart Dreamy #4 yarn. You do not have to use 4 colors. You can use as little or as many colors as your heart desires. The only requirement is your colors make you happy. 😊
You may use any size yarn and the recommended hook size. However, depending on the weight of the yarn will depend on how defined your stitches are.
If your yarn suggests using a I hook, then that’s what you will use. UNLESS you crochet to tight or to loose. Then you may want to adjust your hook size accordingly.
Chain 3 at beginning of row does counts as a stitch.
Because I am a tight crocheter I used the J crochet hook to chain with, so the chain isn’t to tight. This will also keep it from buckling. If you crochet loosely then you really shouldn’t have to go up a hook size when chaining. Rule of thumb always check your gauge.
**If you choose to use Red Heart dreamy try not to make an oopsy as this yarn is not as forgiving when ripping out. My suggestion to you is be really careful when ripping out otherwise you will have a bigger mess than you’d like.**
