Alternative Yarns
Most DK weight yarn will work, but here are some I would recommend that would be a good match based on fiber content and gauge:
- Sirdar, Snuggly Baby Bamboo DK (80% Bamboo, 20% Wool)
- Knit Picks, Galileo (50% Merino Wool, 50% Viscose from Bamboo)
- Lion Brand Yarn, Coboo (50% Cotton, 50% Rayon from Bamboo)
Main gauge
21 sts x 24 rows = 10 cm / 4in
In sc worked flat with a 4 mm hook after blocking
Swatch Instructions
Lace Gauge: 3.5 cm wide x 4 cm tall = 1 lace rep x 4 rows of lace
Be sure to block and check gauge before starting by making a big enough gauge swatch (at least 15 x 15 cm / 6 x 6 in).
Certain materials might sag, and fabric may extend too much with drape, so adjust hook size appropriately.
