Thanks, Sandra.  I used to think the same thing, but these were easier than I thought it would be. The yarn is like round shoestrings and you use an F hook. 

I had such a fun time!!

I'm up for anything but a wearable or basket is piquing my interest 💜

I will almost always enjoy a challenge, but it looks like you might be full already :(

I would not use a 4 weight.  2 or. 3 cotton only. 

The 8/4 us a 4 ply yarn so it is thinner. Still strong and soft. You may need a smaller hook size, but it depends on your tension. 

Sandra Palmer It is 8 ply. 

Thanks, Tiffany.  This was my first time pattern testing.  I hope I helped. It was a joy!
