Best Yarn
For great results it is always best to use the recommended yarn in the pattern materials section.
I have used Paintbox Simply DK yarn in two colours for the alpine crochet stitch tutorial, this can be substituted with a light worsted yarn.
Crochet Hook Size
I have used a 4.00mm crochet hook for the samples in this post, but other hook sizes can be used that correspond with the thickness of yarn you are working with, check ball bands for more information.
