Thank you so much for this pattern it’s gorgeous!!! This will be my first Tunisian project, so I want to follow everything to a T, but I haven’t been able to find a 7mm crochet hook (I do have the Knitters Pride set that you linked to though, and it’s lovely, but doesn’t have that exact size). Do you have any tips on where to find the right size, or should I size up to the 8mm or down to 6.5mm from the set? Thanks again!

Hi Emily, It's amazing how hard it is to find a 7 mm Tunisian hook! I found one on Amazon, but if you're having a hard time tracking one down, I would try experimenting with the 6.5 size.
