As long as the shapes measure either a 4” for small or 4.5” for medium you can use any yarn of your choice just continue doing rounds until you have this size

I used 4 X 50 gram balls of different colours of cotton / acrylic mix

2 X 50 gram balls for your main colour

I have used yellow, blue, green, peach and tan for the main colour

Scissors

Needle for sewing in ends

With a 3.75 hook a square will measure 4” across, the triangle on the short side will also be 4”

With a 5mm hook the Square will measure 4.5” across, Triangle is 4.5” on the short side

Notes: This pattern consist of 18 X 4” round granny squares 12 X 4” granny triangles with the last round in your main colour. You will then SC them together.

Ok Now is a great time to try it on and see if it fits

Rnd 1: Ch 3 (counts as dc) 2 dc in same space, 3 dc in to each gap around join with a slst

 Long Tail Chain Cord

With a H/8-5mm hook 2 meters of DK yarn will make a 1meter long cord

If you need a yarn tail to add beads use two strands of yarn using the second strand as your tail

If you do not need a tail use one strand folded in half

Start with a slip knot

Step 1: Wrap tail yarn around hook from front to back, two loops on hook
