Requirements:
3.25mm hook
Worst weight yarn in: Dark green, light green, black, off white, salmon, light blue, brown
¼” dowel 20” or 51cm
Scissors and needle (for weaving in ends if you do not weave as you go)

You can use whichever hook/yarn/stitch combination you would like. The pattern includes instructions for my personal preference and what I believe to be a good start for beginners.
