I talk with the sun, said the wren,
As soon as he starts to shine.
I talk with the sun, said the wren,
And the day is mine.

Smooth, shiny yarns (i.e. worsted spun, superwash treated, or those with slippery fibres – alpaca, silk, cotton, etc.) are not recommended for use with this pattern due to its use of crocheted steek.
