Tips for yarn/hook alternatives
I would not recommend using a heavier weight than DK. Thicker yarns would be difficult to keep the shape and would not show such an intricate definition.
Smaller hook?
2.5 and 3mm Hooks will work well with this pattern.
For 2.5mm hooks and corresponding yarn – Work 13 Dc into your magic circle (14Dc including chain 3) then repeat rounds 5&6 at the end of your pattern rounds.
3mm hook and corresponding yarn – repeat rounds 5&6 at the end of your pattern rounds.
