Pattern Notes
Plant fibers (like cotton) are best for this project if it will be used in the dining room. While it may be a bit tricky at first, using a small hook size (like the G referenced) will create a tight, even fabric that’s very durable.
While the yarn weight for this should be in the #4 range, the fiber content can be synthetic or plant based if you prefer!
