YARN AMOUNTS

This banner can be made in any yarn.

However, in the main example (the rainbow on white) I used Stylecraft Special DK and a 3.50 mm hook. Each letter took no more than 40 metres. However, overall, I used: 480 m of the background colour (white) for the background and envelope border, and 270 m in total for the letters. The pattern includes a breakdown of yarn needed per letter.

Please note that using a different yarn, hook and tension will alter these amount. Make the first letter and assess how much yarn you’ve used and compare this with my usage to scale up or down.

MEASUREMENTS
