It is in the November 2018 Flyfishing & Flytying magazine (from the UK). It is a standard hedgehog pattern You can see some tied on Youtube. You can certainly tie it any size that works for you. It reminds me of the Blue Ribbon flies sunken stone pattern. I found the metallic thread by doing an online Google search but also found my local fly shop had it. You can often also find things like that at JoAnns. My JoAnns did not have it, however. I wound it onto my Nor-vise bobbin using the spool stuck on my sewing machine thread holder and my electric drill to do the winding. I'm tying mine on a size 11 Stealth dry fly hook. The thread is a bit thinner and easier to break than standard 8-0 Uni but still does a good job. I'm reinforcing the bottom at the end of the fly tying with Flexament.
