I
have not made the model for this design; therefore, do not have a
specific working gauge.
However, I tend to use Size 20 Crochet Cotton with a #10 Steel
Hook producing a gauge of
15 sts/5 rows = 1". Therefore, this piece worked as
shown with this gauge would = an overall
size of approx. 16" x 7". It can be worked in
many weights of Crochet Cotton. I have given
the most popular hook size in the Materials below. Also,
the alphabet is included for those
who'd like this as a Name Lace. For those of you who
enjoy a challenge, try using popcorn stitch
for the lettering. Try your hand at it and let me know
how it works out! THANKS!
