The following materials are the ones that I used, however I am in the UK so you may need to source an equivalent. Your items may differ in size if you use another yarn, but take care choosing the correct weight of yarn and it will still look lovely. I have slightly over estimated the weight of yarn needed for each piece as everyone crochets with a different tension so you may use slightly more or less than me. This is a great stash buster and you can use colours that you already have in matching weights.
