guage help??

[RebeccaVelasquez]

i am wanting to make something that the pattern calls for homespun yarn with a g or h hook

i want to use a mohair (probably baby weight-maybe slightly finer)

what size hook should i use?

oh, and there is no guage given in the pattern.

it is a bucket hat to match a scarf. the scarf is out of the same mohair, done with a Q hook really lacy and open, done in sc front loop only. i'll see if i can't figure out how to post a picture.....

HELP, PLEASE!!

Sorry Rebecca,

I've never used Mohair. But someone surely has on this site.

Do you have any scraps of homespun around? You could crochet a swatch with homespun and some swatches using different size hooks with mohair and compare them. :thinking2

 

P.S. You are fast, Rebecca! I just put that one up. I had to take it off the list temporarily due to some little server problems with our photobucket account, but he'll be back up soon! :bigsmile

i'll post what i come up with for any future reference for anyone.
