I was thinking about this for a house warming gift. You stated hold the yarn double, is this throughout the entire pattern? What type of yarn are you suggesting, wool, cotton, acrylic? Thank you!!

Lara, I used 2 strands of cotton for the bottom and 2 strands of Bernat Satin for the (face) top. My testers used 1 strand of cotton and it stood up fine. I would suggest though that you do use 2 strands on the very bottom portion for stability, if you do decide to use 1 strand,
