Materials
A DK or light fingering weight yarn is best for this stitch. The DK will give a warm, snuggly effect while the light fingering yarn will produce a much finer, lacy version of the stitch. This is the kind of project that would look great made up in a really luxurious, silky yarn. Check your yarn band for hook size suggestions. You will also need a pair of scissors and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends.
