American Terms

Difficulty: Comfortable Beginner

Comfortable with rows and round changes, increasing and decreasing, chain bumps, single crochet, and skipped stitches.

Yarns I used:

I used Paintbox Aran weight yarn, however you can use any size you desire, just adjust your hook to ensure there are no gaps in your stitches. The bigger the weight the larger the result will be.

***** A NOTE ON YARNS*****

Almost all of the yarns I use in my stash has been given to me, so they vary widely. However I suggest the same weight, and if possible the same brand if you are buying new skeins, of at least 3.5 oz of each color. This ensures that each piece will match in size and shape as “medium weight” can vary from brand to brand.


Colors needed for pieces: I suggest two but use what inspires you!

Recommended Hook size: 3.25 mm (used in pattern) or 3 mm

Supplies:

  • Yarn

  • Yarn Needle

  • Sewing pins

  • Fiber filling

  • Scissors

  • Safety eyes - 12 mm or 9 mm you can also use buttons or eyes of choice

  • Crochet hook

  • OPTIONAL: magnet for pins

  • Scrap yarn or stitch markers

Some pieces are worked in the round and some worked flat. Each piece is noted before you begin.
