LEVEL OF THE PATTERN:
Intermediate level
You should know, how to crochet: Chain (CH), Slip stitch (SlSt), Single crochet (SC), HDC (Half double crochet, DC (Double crochet), Increasing (inc): 2 stitches in the same stitch, Decreasing (dec): crochet 2 SC together, crocheting in back loops only.
You will use only basic stitches, but working with the fuzzy yarn needs some practice. I wrote tips and advice, which could help you to work with this type of yarn :-) You could find it on my blog.
ENJOY THIS PATTERN :-)
