Yarn
I normally use “Catania” from Schachenmayr (http://www.coatsgmbh.de) and sometimes “Cotton Quick” from
Gründl (www.gruendl-wolle.de). They measure 22 WPI* and have a specified gauge of 36 rows and 26 sts =
10 cm (about 9 rows and 6.5 sts = 1”) and recommended hook sizes of 2.5 to 3.5 mm.
My gauge (for single crochets in round) is 8 rows and 8 sts = 1” with 2.5 mm hook.
WPI
*WPI – wraps per inch: To measure the WPI of your yarn, wrap it around
a pencil, a ruler or something else, until it reaches 1 inch. Then count the
number of wraps you have.

− I recommend beginning all rounds with an adjustable ring.


− All rounds are worked in a continuous spiral; do not join rounds with a slip stitch.
− You may find it useful to use a stitch marker for counting your rounds.
