=====================================
You need:
♥ Thin cotton yarn in 1-4 different colors. I've used DMC, Natura Just Cotton
♥ 2 mm or 2,2 mm crochet hook, depending on how tight you crochet and which yarn you're using. My crocheting is quite tight and I've used a 2,2 mm hook
♥ A round tape measure, approx.5 cm (2 inches) in diameter. Mine is 5,2 cm
♥ Scissors
♥ Needle
