Just so you know, and you may want to add the word to this page's tags, the particular candle size pictured here is often called a "tealight".

And most of the time I use smaller size hooks than recommended. <br />I'm not a professional crochet pattern writer, and I hadn't paid much attention to gauge. But now I see it's important to measure and provide exact gauge measurements. I'll try to do it when Olga Poltavahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16972704777268794969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068962954335082067.post-38154172146547952862013-02-15T16:35:01.666-08:002013-02-15T16:35:01.666-08:00Thank you so much for sharing this pattern.
