Materials:
- H hook, 5.00mm
- Small amount of medium worsted weight yarn in 3 colors. Picking your colors: Make sure to pick a dark, light and middle color. The middle color should look like the result if you were to mix the dark and light colors together
- Blunt needle to weave in ends
- Faux fur yarn, I used Lion Brand’s Go For Faux in “Blonde Elk”
Notes:
- When switching colors, yarn over as you finish the dc with the new color
- Carry the 2 colors you are working with on each row, crochet over the color that is not in use.
- The ch 2 counts as a stitch
- The last dc is made at the top of the ch 2 on each row
