I used the hobby lobby brand (yarn bee I think?) of their super bulky yarn in pink camo. Any super chunky yarn will work, I believe. The pattern called for a size N hook, but I used a size M and adjusted my gauge a tiny bit. You just make squares and rectangles and stitch it together. Took me a day to do.

I love that fuzzy cozy yarn. I'll have to look for it next time I get a chance to go to Hobby Lobby. It reminds me of the LionBrand "Homespun" yarn I like to use for hats, but I bet it is less expensive too. I think either button would look adorable. I'll have to print the pattern out and put in my freebie stash folder for future use. I like using HDC stitch. I'm using that stitch now to make DD a blanket. BTW, I forgot to tell you, but I "liked" your farm page on FB. Last week was a blur getting ready for DH's party, so I haven't had time to look at it yet.

They can do it - all you make are squares and rectangles and then sew them together. However, it's in baby and toddler sizes... up to 2-3 years of age. It took me 2, 4-ounce skeins to make the smallest size.

The size is fine. It won't make any difference when joined to others.

These are our tools of the trade lol,, and a bunch of needles we have for trade or to give away because no one knows how to knit!

I had a feeling that's what happened. Sounds like you are slowly rebuilding your stash.​

I know! That's what I thought so I tried to break the ice by asking them how they got started knitting. They kinda looked at each other and then, well, nothing happened...

Maybe it's just the area. It does seem to take folks here awhile to get to know each other. Even then they aren't gabby like I'm used to. Most of my good friends here in Reno are from other states.

My mother can knit. She would have a field day with those needles.
