GAME DAY NOTES

Make as many or as few charms as you desire for your project.
Each clue in the mystery make-along will be a different charm.
You do not have to make all the charms to have a complete project. The different charms are to offer you lots of choices and options to make something that you love. Whether that is multiples of 1 charm, 1 of a couple of different charms, or just 1 charm total. Any way you decide to craft with us is perfect!
If you are new to thread crochet, be patient with yourself. It takes a bit of time to get used to such tiny hooks. Make sure to relax your tension when chaining, or change the hook size if adjusting your tension doesn’t work. All ends and edges will be covered, and blocking will transform all the charms that need any extra love. Be kind to yourself, you got this!
