Materials Needed
- Yarn: The recommended is 5 mm yarn. The reason why we chose this thick yarn is to make teaching easier. For beginners practicing, thicker yarn is also recommended.
- Hook: To match 5 mm yarn, a 6 mm hook is the best pairing.
Preparation
Step 1. Begin with a slip knot on your hook.
Step 2. Chain the desired number of stitches, then add 2 more for the turning chain. To keep enough chain, we chain 1 in the next stitch.
