Supplies

  • Superfine (weight 1) yarn — at least one ball: 678 yds/3.5 oz (620 m/100 g) I used Woolike Simil-laine (85% acrylic/15% nylon) I recommend any wool-synthetic blend because of its stretchiness and soft, fuzzy texture.
  • 3.5 mm crochet hook 2.5 mm (for slip stitches)
  • Ruler, scissors, stitch marker
