started with 4.0 but went up to 4.5 hook.
The 2 colours work out well, although I wasn’t sure when I started (but I did not allow myself to buy yarn for this project, so had to do with 2 colours out of my stash)
Up to round 50 and it measures 90 cm

Finished row 66, measures 120 cm diameter. Not sure about the hook size now, its a bit wavy. The hook size will give problems with this pattern because Frank wants us to use a bigger size than normal to get loose stitches but it’s hard to get how loose they have to be. Love working on this one.

after round 66 changed hook back to 4.0 and I think it was a good choice: no more waving.
Today finished row 74 (did not work on it for 3 days) Although very easy rounds, the v- and w-stitches are a bit tedious. I’m looking forward finishing this great pattern, hope to do so in a day or two.

Finished it today. Great pattern, although a few more stitch repeats than the other Change patterns. But hey, Frank made this one for free for us all to enjoy!!
I really love the border, such an ingenious way to give the throw some extra weight. I’m sure I will use this border on other projects.
The two colours worked out great. I changed almost every row except for the “lace” part.
I did enjoy testing the pattern, sort of hidden objects game.
