There are three different color versions of this pattern. All specify a 6.5 mm hook (which they call a J hook) and worsted weight yarn, and you make squares 9.5” x 9.5” (24 cm x 24 cm), assembling the squares in different directions to make different color patterns. All yarn specifications were for ounces; yardage was not given. Yardage estimates below--and the total above--are based on an average of 50-100 yards per ounce for worsted weight yarn.
