Colours needed:

• If you’re going to be following this pattern exactly as it is with colour changes too, you’ll need your first three colours. 
• If you’re using your own colour choices, then just follow the pattern, ignoring where it says to cut yarn and start using new colours.

Finished size:
Acrylic 8 ply – approximately 14cm / 5.5 inches – you won’t need much yarn no more than 10g of each for part 1 (over estimating if you’re using 8 ply acrylic)
