Skills Used

• Basic crochet stitches: chain, half double crochet, single crochet, slip stitch
• Crocheting in the round, crocheting flat in rows

Gauge

Exact gauge is not critical for this project but stitches should be small so that fiber filling doesn’t show.

• US Size F-5/3.75 mm crochet hook, or size needed to obtain gauge.
