Supplies Needed:
Yarn: three colors of worsted weight (standard/medium 4 weight)
I used: arylic worsted weight (for the ones in the progress photos)
color one - Green 21 yards
color two - Brown 4 ½ yards
color three - Black 2 yards
Hook:
E (3.50mm)
H (5.00mm)
Scissors
Tapestry Needle
Stitch Marker
Abbreviations Used:
MR - magic ring

hdc - half double crochet
tog - together (also known as a decrease stitch)
bb - back bump
BLO - back loop only
Row - working back and forth
Rnd - working circumference of the piece
CC - color change
sN vs Ns -
If the number is before the stitch, that number of stitches in one stitch. if the number is after the stitch, that stitch is done over that number of stitches of the previous row. Example 5dc = 5 dc in next stitch, dc 5 = dc over the next five stitches
*sN, sN* x N -
Repeat what is between the asterisks (*) for the indicated number of repeat times (x N). example *sc 1, 2dc, tr 1* x 5: you would single crochet, two double crochet, treble crochet then repeat that sequence five times for a total of 20 stitches across the 15 stitches of the previous row.
Note: Hook sizes are the sizes of hooks I used, if you tend to crochet with a tight tension you may want to go up a hook size.
