"This is the pattern for an easy swan appliqué. There is also a video tutorial for the pattern available on my YouTube channel at Easy Swan Crochet Tutorial. I’ve used 8 ply cotton and a 2.5mm crochet hook but you can use different sizes depending on what you’re most comfortable with. I used white, orange and black 8 ply wool which is light worsted in the US and double knit in the UK. A crochet hook, I used a 2.5mm hook, scissors. A sewing needle and thread to stitch the swan together and a darning needle to weave in ends. A small amount of embroidery or sewing cotton to embroider on an eye or you could use a black bead."
