- Crochet hook: 3.0 mm
- Tapestry needle
- Filling
- 120 cm of thin wire (diameter: 1 mm). To be used for stiffening the sides.
- Rubber tape (electrician’s tape) 1,5 cm wide to secure wire ends
- Pliers for cutting wire
- Scissors
Abbreviations
- St(s) – stitch(es)

- Dec – decrease (2 sc worked off together)
- (nr) – indicates the total number of stitches in the current row/round

Important Notes
- All rounds are worked in a continuous spiral. Do not join or turn, unless instructed otherwise

Using the suggested yarn and hook size the dice will be about 4,5 cm by 4,5 cm by 4,5 cm.
