HOOK SIZE: I am using a 4 mm hook in this tutorial, this is a Nelsonwood hook, I am not affiliated or sponsored. Please visit the Nelsonwood website or Etsy shop for more info, mine is a Green Star Flower with Green Holly wood ends: www.nelsonwood...
I recommend using the below hook sizes depending on yarn used:
3 DK yarn : 3.25mm to 4.5mm
Size 4 Medium/worsted weight: 4.5mm to 5.5mm.
Mixing 3 & 4 weight: 3.5mm to 4.5mm
THE YARN: I'm using size 3 DK yarn Stylecraft Special DK, any brand will work as well as any size, any fiber content:
Color A Parma Violet
Color B Storm Blue
My larger sample at the beginning of the video is in the above colors and Stylecraft Special DK: Cornflower Blue, Spearmint & Teal and I used Cygnet DK shade 256 Cream.
Note on mixing yarn sizes 3 (DK) & Size 4 (Medium Worsted weight): THE TRICK TO MIXING YARN SIZES IS JUST KEEPING YOUR TENSION EVEN AND USING THE SMALLEST SIZE HOOK RECOMMENDED FOR THE SMALLER YARN! You can use any yarn size you like and can use yarn that is all the same size, you do not have to mix yarn sizes.
Project info and starting:
To begin your project you will chain in multiples of 10 plus 4 at the end to work a flat piece. You will skip the first chain and begin working in the second chain from the hook, ending up with an odd number of stitches. EXAMPLE: I chained 34 and had 33 stitches at the end of my first Foundation Row FOR FLAT.
TO WORK IN THE ROUND: chain in multiples of 10 and slip stitch to the first chain. Begin working the repeat in the first stitch [same stitch you slip stitches into] and follow the Repeat as given in the video.
