Yarn: I used leftover yarn from my stash that may not be made anymore. It’s Bernat Handicrafter Cotton, Country Colors in Country Yellow. Or if you’re feeling fancy, Bernat Couleurs de Campagne in Jaune de Pays. It’s a worsted weight, machine washable cotton yarn.
Hook: 4.5mm
Gauge: I did not make a gauge swatch. The yarn’s gauge for 4×4 inches (10 cm) is 20 stitches and 26 rows with a 4.5mm hook, if that helps you out.
Other: 4 removable stitch markers may help. Safety pins will do.
