Pattern:

Designed by Nadia Fuad

Materials:

–Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in Medium Thyme
–Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in Warm Brown
-K-6.50mm Crochet Hook (Find the hook I used in my video tutorial here!)

NOTES:

-This project uses less than 1,450 yards of yarn.
-Use a smaller hook to make these smaller
-Use a bigger hook to make these bigger
-Watch the FULL video tutorial for visual instructions for each row and tips on how to make this smaller and bigger.
-Weave in all the ends as you go so you don’t have to weave them all in at the very end.
-If the instructions above are confusing, please message me on Facebook, and I will answer any questions you may have. Please be specific in your questions. Thank you!!
