could someone comment on what yarn would be a good
substitute for Zephyr in this pattern? I'm wondering if
we are talking something like fingering yarn? Angora?
I'm aware this is probably not still available, but what
would make a similar garment, not necessarily period
correct, but just as pleasing.
thanks, kitty
I don't know if this is the same yarn, but it might be a good substitute:

However, I do have a question about the pattern. It seems to start in the
middle of the instructions. Row 1 starts with "3 dc". Where's the
foundation chain? What do you do the 3 double crochet =in=? It says "repeat
to the end of the row" but they never told you how to start the row in the
first place. Very confusing.
