Materials

• Yarn: 2 skeins of Scheepjes Catona (Shine). I have used the color 105-G Bridal White Gold. Please note that this is enough to crochet the pieces and thread the yarn around the shape to attach the pieces, not to crochet around the star shapes. If you want to do this, you need one more skein. Also please note that if you crochet loose, 2 skeins might not be enough. In that case I’d also suggest to buy an additional skein.
• Hook: I have crocheted Catona Shine with hook 2.5mm. The regular Catona is a bit thinner, so you might need a bigger hook to match the gauge. A smaller or bigger hook might be needed to match gauge.
• Star frames: in 3 sizes: small (28 cm / 11 inch ), medium (38 cm / 15 inch) and large (48-50 cm / 18.9-19.7 inch). Please note that I designed the stars for the particular shapes I have used. Metal star shapes from different brands may vary slightly in size or shape. Even if your crochet work matches the gauge in the pattern, it may not fit your star shapes perfectly. This is something to keep in mind before starting with the pattern.
