What will you need for the 10-in-1 ANIMAL Market Bag Crochet Pattern LIVE Crochet Along?

Click the links below to see which materials I used exactly!

• Herrschners Worsted Supreme Yarn (worsted, 100% acrylic, 100g/167yd):
  • Really Red
  • Geranium
  • Sweetheart
  • Penny
  • Daylily
  • Limeade
  • Cobalt
  • Onyx
  • Pearl
  • Tangerine
  • Heather
  • Lagoon
• 4mm hook
• scissors
• tapestry needle
• Polyfill
• Plastic Eyes with white dots
• Glitter Safety Eyes
• Black Plastic Eyes

Important to note:

Whatever color is the OUTSIDE color of each animal, will require 1 entire skein of that color, e.g. bee has daylily as the last/outside color, therefore that color will be the actual bag and will require 1 entire skein

Can I use a different yarn?

Yes, you can switch to a different yarn brand, even a different fiber if you prefer.

I recommend any worsted yarn for this project. Pick from your yarn stash if you want, BUT I highly recommend Herrschner’s Yarn.

But it’s an ideal project as a yarn stash buster. Use leftover yarn if you have any. I would recommend sticking with either of my above recommendations.

What colors should I pick?

I recommend any of the mentioned solid colors.

Either stick with the colors I picked or pick your favorite colors for your favorite animal bag.

Can I use a different hook size?

Yes, you can pick a different size. Just remember the pattern will be a bit smaller or larger unless you focus on the gauge provided.
