Materials: ( I used )
3mm crochet hook
Sport weight yarn: white ( color A ), jeans blue ( color B ), and dark blue ( color C ) ( about 300 gr for the sample – size L/ 50 gr or 136 yds per skein )
Yarn needle
Scissors
Ribbon
Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/ round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into the same stitch (counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/ round, so just choose your best technique
