The 16-page pattern includes written directions in English using standard US crochet terms. It also includes step-by-step photos illustrating more complicated steps.
Materials needed include approximately 3500 m of DK weight yarn. I used 15 skeins of Madelinetosh DK Twist and 2 balls of Cascade 220 Superwash. You will also need 5.5 mm and 4.5 mm crochet hooks, a tapestry needle, and scissors.
The crochet level is intermediate based on use of tapestry crochet and join as you go techniques. Pattern includes a printable coloring sheet for color planning.
