• 2 strands for French knots

Characters Included:

• Upper Case Letters
• Lower Case Letters
• Numbers
• Punctuation

Height:

• The upper case letters are 4 stitches high.
• The lower case letters without ascenders or descenders (ex: a, c, o) are 2 stitches high.
• The lower case letters with only ascenders (ex: b, d, h) or only descenders (ex: g, p, y) are 4 stitches high.
• The lower case "j", with a descender and a dot above, is 5 1/2 stitches high.
