The Yarn

The yarn that I originally used was Brava Sport from We Crochet but you can use any comparable sport weight/baby weight yarn.

Supplies Needed

Approximately 90-100 yards Brava Sport or comparable #3 weight yarn
Measuring Tape
I/5.5mm Crochet Hook
Yarn Needle
Scissors

• Hdc – Half Double Crochet
• RS – Right Side

Pattern Notes

Written in US crochet terms.

It’s easier to sew the closure if you’ve already woven in your beginning tail.

A picture tutorial has been included for the closure.

Before the closure, the item might have a slight slant.  This is unnoticeable in the finished item.

Update your skincare routine with the all new Incredible Face Scrubby pattern. I know that I needed to do better with having to wear a mask regularly while out in public and having to use hand sanitizers that dry out my skin.
