I have a 28 gauge Viking Knit 'Chain' one but I'm sure I had 8 -10 loops... big issue is the wire is so fine that the ends have all come back to life and it's a bit like wearing a cactus... will try and take a picture and post it in the next couple of days...
and I'm sure you do one row of double for every row of single I can't remember but I think you did the row of single then basically repeated it...
I don't use a dowel when I do mine though so I can add and subtract stitches at will.
I would buy heavier wire and make sure if it's silver that it is fine silver as it doesn't work harden nearly as fast as sterling! Also it doesn't tarnish like sterling does!
