Supplies:

• Size H crochet hook
• Stitch markers
• Approx. 14 oz 100% cotton yarn – I used (approx.) Color A: 7oz. Sage Green; Color B: 2.5oz. Black; Color C: 2.5oz. Hot Blue; Color D: 2.5oz. Red

Pattern: Note: We will be working in a round. I found it helpful to mark the first and last stitch of each round and move them up as I go. When ending a round, we will join with a slip stitch to the first sc in that round. When beginning the next round, we will ch 1 and start our first sc in the same stitch as the joining stitch.

To do a tr: Yarn over hook twice, insert hook in the indicated stitch, yarn over, draw yarn through stitch, [yarn over, draw yarn through 2 loops on hook] 3 times.
