Materials:
I Hook
Preferred Yarn: Hobby Lobby I love this yarn!

(I have also used Caron Simply Soft with an I hook to meet gauge. I find that softer yarns are better suited for charity donations as they are more complimentary to soft skin types like babies, but I have met gauge with Red Heart Super Saver and Caron One Pound with an H hook as well)

Tapestry needle
Scissors
Measuring tape (to check gauge)
