Fuzzy Yarn Can Drive You Nuts

I bought a few (too many) skeins of a really fluffy and fuzzy yarn last year during Hobby Lobby’s clearance yarn sale. The only thing I knew about it was that it was oh so soft and fluffy!

The fluffiness alone blinded me from the fact that textured, fuzzy yarn is almost always difficult to work with. I do enjoy a challenge from time to time – but not the challenge of seeing where my stitches are.

GOOD NEWS! In this blanket pattern, this fuzzy yarn is not hard to work with. I repeat, it is NOT difficult to work with because of the stitch/technique I use.

How to Crochet with Fuzzy Yarns Easily

There are some “tricks” to working with fuzzy yarn like feel for your stitches, have good lighting, and use a bigger hook size.. but you don’t need those tricks for this pattern.

The “trick” I use to work with fuzzy yarn easily? I work between the stitches versus the actual top of the stitch. I have seen this technique/stitch called “wide double crochet” in a crochet book I have. This eliminates the guess work on where to make your next stitch because you can readily see the spaces between the stitches so well.

I used this technique for these fuzzy pumpkins I made last year. It definitely has changed my perspective on fuzzy yarn. Gone are the days I dread working with it. I don’t mind working with it and it gives you such a plushy finished fabric!

Crochet Blanket Sizes

Since this blanket uses just a basic stitch, you can easily make it any size you’d like.

At the risk of having a different gauge/tension than you, just find the size you’d like in the chart below and chain your beginning chain the width you need!

In the pattern, you will find I have included a beginning chain. That beginning chain is for the size I made which is 42″ x 52″ which is the size of a toddler blanket. If you are crocheting a different size, your beginning chain count will be different.

Special Stitch: Wide double crochet – work a double crochet between the stitches in the previous row instead of working on the top of the stitches. This will be written in the pattern as “wide dc”.

When working the wide double crochet, be sure to crochet between the beginning ch 2 and first stitch from the previous row. This can be easily missed.
