Mystery Crochet-Along Part 3

Now, we come to the final portion.

You will start with the worsted weight yarn.  The bulky fun yarn will be explained in the instructions.

Before you begin, you must decide which option you wish to make:

1. Round Pillow (less than 300 yards of worsted weight yarn)
2. Easter Basket (more than 300 yards of worsted weight yarn)
3. Purse / Bag ( a lot more than 300 yards of worsted weight yarn)
4. A small beret and a cowl (around 300 yards of worsted weight yarn)

The fun part is when you finish you can start over and make something new!!!
