This pattern is intended for Adventurous Beginners.The pattern is written with the assumption that you know how to work all listed stitches, see list below. This pattern is written using American terms. This pattern is worked in continuous rounds unless otherwise specified. Finished size depends on personal tension, yarn and hook size. For this project I used a 4 weight yarn, 3mm hook, and my finished Dumptruck is approx 8 inches wide and 5 inches tall. You can use any yarn weight and hook you would like; it will just make the finished item bigger or smaller.
