This adorable round motif is great for beginners. It is very quick and easy to make and a perfect way to use your scrap yarn.
I made this with cotton thread No 3 and a 3,5 mm crochet hook and its final size is 12 cm (4,7 inches) in diameter.
You can change the motif’s size by using different yarn weights and hook sizes.
Besides your chosen thread and crochet hook, you will also need a needle to weave in loose ends and a pair of scissors.
