Ol' Blue is fantastic! It was started as an experiment and we just love the finished product. Ol' Blue was hooked with torn strips and a #10 hook, though we do think a #8 Irish hook would work. We have #10 hooks on order so please watch for them soon here on our website. You can certainly hook this pumpkin in any size you like. We did an interesting background with 3 off whites and standing wool. Instructions will come for how to do this or if you prefer you can simply hook the back with whatever size cut you desire. This pattern is 12 x 13 inches.
This pattern is only available on linen.
Patterns and kits come with a colored cover photo, unless otherwise noted, including a rug recipe card with our recommended woolen amounts and the size of strip we used to hook it. However, you may hook using whatever size strips you would like.
Kits include the pattern and all woolens needed to hook the design. We have included wool amounts that we used (plus a bit extra) to hook the rug. We realize that all hookers hook differently. Some hookers hook much looser and will have leftover wool, some hook higher or tighter and may need extra. We encourage you to keep all wool tags that label your wool as well as your rug recipe card, in the event you may need to purchase more.
The wool in your kit does NOT come cut into strips. Due to time constraints, we are not able to cut larger kits anymore. If you are a new hooker, please check out our New Hookers section for a selection of smaller kits that we still do offer our cutting services for, as we realize not all new hookers have a cutter.
