Hook -
4.0mm/G

Notions -
Yarn Needle
12” length of 1/2” dowel rod, preferably a smooth one

Gauge -
Using US G (4.0 mm) and yarn (A) 16 single crochet stitches (ch1 at beginning of row counts as 1st stitch) and 18 rows = 4”

Why gauge? If you want your piece to fit on the 12” dowel rod, gauge matters. If you are fine with needing to cut a larger/smaller dowel, then it matters less.

Size(s)-
Finished size of tapestry itself (including tassels, BUT NOT including section to hang on dowel rod) - 10” x 13”
