Materials needed:

• Yarn: The recommended is 5 mm yarn. The reason why we chose this thick yarn is to make teaching easier. For beginners practicing, thicker yarn is also recommended.
• Hook: To match 5 mm yarn, a 6 mm hook is the best pairing.

Preparation

1. Step 1. Begin by making a slip knot on your hook.
2. Step 2. Chain the desired number of stitches for your project.
3. Step 3. Work a row of double crochet stitches across. This will be our foundation row.
4. Step 4. Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet) and turn your work.
