INFORMATION
Gauge: 22dc x 13 rows = 10x10 cm or 20dc x 13 rows = 10x10 cm made with hook 2.75mm - both unblocked. More info in the pattern
Suggestion: Crochet hook 2.75mm (US C/2) and 3.25mm (US F/4) or 0.5 bigger than you need to meet gauge
Yarn amount: 850g (950g) 1050g (1150g) 1250g (1350)g of Sevilla, (50g = 140m) or Capri (50g = 125m) from Katia or any other sport/ fingering weight/ 4ply yarn

Sadly, Katia have discontinued Sevilla. I’m looking for a substitute but so far I haven’t found a perfect match. I.e., shiny, tape yarn. “Sayonara” from Schulana is supposedly a close match but I haven’t personally tried it. You can still use whatever yarn you would like that meets gauge.
