Product Description
This pattern is written in US crochet terms. The pattern includes 3 sizes, with figures on how to calculate making an alternative size. I have used Paintbox Simply DK yarn in Lipstick Pink, Bubblegum Pink, Daffodil Yellow, Washed Teal, Duck Egg Blue and Champagne White, However, any yarn can be used, however a swatch of a few rows will be necessary to ensure your work is straight. As an idea,the smallest size requires approximately 50g in each main colour and 20g in the dividing colour. The medium size requires approximately 100g in each main colour and 40g in the dividing colour. The largest size requires 155g in each main colour and 60g in the dividing colour.
