Pattern is written in US terms

I will not be counting stitches in each round as it is dependent on how many you decide to start in your first round. Gauge is not important for this pattern.

If you are using multiple colours of yarn, you may wish to change colours as you transition to each row.

Use whatever hook is recommended on your yarn label. I would however suggest a 4 or 5mm hook.

Any worsted weight acrylic or cotton yarn in at least one colour. If you want to create stripes, add some pop with multiple colours.
