This pattern can be used with any small scraps of yarn you have(~4-6 g), just keep them all the same weight/thickness. You want your tension to be somewhat tight so there’s no big gaps in the finished applique, so go down one hook size from what you’d normally use.

I used:

• 8 ply (DK) weight yarn in 100% cotton, less than 5 g of white, and less than 1 g each of yellow and grey
• 3.5 mm hook

The pattern has also been tested in the following yarns, qtys:

• Lion Brand 24/7 cotton, ~4 g
• Spotlight funpack 8 ply acrylic ~5 g
• DK weight acrylic, ~6 g

The finished size is ~10 x 5 cm
