hooks 3,5
The work can be experienced a little tightly and it will be good to bow down during the first 16 yards, but this will push you out when blocking. If you work very hard, I recommend using larger crochet hooks.
Description: For each color, specify which color to use in the following show (1) or (2), keep in mind that one round can contain both color choices and new color will be marked with (_)
In the round you use both colors, you let the colors run behind the work to avoid a lot of threads to attach. One tip for color change is that you change color when the last one is pulled on a mask.
