Materials Used

Size
Large lighthouse (Using 8 ply yarn & a 3mm hook)
18cm wide x 19cm high or 7” wide x 7.5” high
Medium lighthouse (Using 4 ply crochet cotton & a 1.5mm hook)
9cm wide x 12cm high or 3.5” wide x 4.5” high
Small lighthouse (Using 2 ply crochet cotton & a 1mm hook)
8cm wide x 10cm high or 3” wide x 4” high
Notes: I worked into front and back loops to add texture, but you could work into both loops if you prefer. For row 8 its’s important to work into the front loop only when working the red so the eaves can be worked into the other loop.
When leaving the cotton where it is always leave it on the wrong side of your work.
