Materials Used
- 5mm crochet hook
- Worsted weight yarn: white color (about 300 gr for the sample - size L/100 gr or 174 yds per skein)
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into same stitch (counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/round, so choose your best technique.
Special Stitch Used
2dc-V stitch: (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) into same stitch or space
