Difficulty: Intermediate
This piece uses short rows and the pieces are crocheted to attach together, which can get a little fiddly, but no sewing is always a plus in my book. Finished, it measures about a little over a foot from front to back.

Gauge: 4 rows of 4 sts is about a 1” square

Materials:
Yarn: Worsted Weight, approximately
