Chain, single crochet, half double crochet, doublt crochet, triple crochet
Changing colour
Applying fringe

Materials
Plymouth's Encore (worsted weight; 75% acrylic/25% woold; each approx 3 1/2 oz/100 g and 200 yd/184 m), 8 balls Steel Blue #9620 (A) and 7 balls Ice Green #801 (B)
Crochet hook, size 1/9 (5.50 mm) or size needed to obtain gauge
