Step 4 calls for another yarn to outline the letter. The pattern does not specify its color, so choose one that suits your project.

Finishing and Practical Tips
Use the darning needle to deal with the yarn tail when finishing the applique. Before adding the letter to a larger project, check its outline and make sure the edging is even. If you are making several letters, use the same yarn and hook for each one to help keep their appearance consistent.
The letter can be made in other colors or with multicolored yarn to coordinate with a decoration project. Since no gauge or finished measurements are provided, the final size may vary with yarn, hook, and individual tension.
