Worsted weight yarn - 1 skein navy blue, white, and orange

(NOTE: I used what I had available which was Red Heart Soft in navy and white and Red Heart SuperSaver in orange. I would recommend using one type of yarn for all three colors so you don't get size variations between rows like I did (the SuperSaver is thicker than the Soft)

Size H hook or size needed for gauge
