Alternative Yarns
Any fingering weight yarn will work, but here are some I would recommend:

Gauge
23 sts x 16 rows = 10 x 10 cm with 3.5 mm hook alternating sc and dcFLO rows worked flat.
Be sure to block and check gauge before starting by making a big enough gauge swatch (at least 15 x 15 cm).
Certain materials might sag and fabric will extend too much with drape, so adjust hook appropriately.
