I crocheted this in color 116 and 111. I first used 116 and a 2.75 hook, then decided for a larger and lacier look and used a size F hook with the color 111. I also tried it with a fingering weight and the F hook. all of them are great, but my favorite is the Abalone color 111 and the F hook because I made 14 repeats of the pattern making a shawl. It works up really fast and the charts are easy to follow.
