Frequently asked questions

What hook size does this blanket use?

A 6/0 hook, which is 3.5mm, paired with a baby-weight yarn for a soft, lightweight drape.

How much yarn will I need?

The pattern uses about 350g of off-white and 370g of yellow baby yarn (sold in 40g balls), for a finished 80cm square.

The pattern is in Japanese — can I still follow it?

Yes. The construction is given as a stitch-symbol chart with a legend, so you read the symbols rather than the Japanese text. You start with a chain of 144 and repeat the shell/fan motif across the chart.
