• Before we get started…
Working with fuzzy yarn is a challenge IF you don’t know how to use it. It’s nearly impossible to see your stitches, but I have found a way to use fuzzy yarn with ease. Instead of trying to see your stitches, just crochet where you THINK the next stitch might be and make a mental note of the amount of stitches you’ve made as you’re making them.

This means you’ll be crocheting blind, but since you’re keeping track of how many stitches you’ve made, the outcome will be about the same as if you could actually see your stitches.

If you’re almost to your stitch marker end up with too little stitches, make up the amount by adding a few increases at the last few stitches. If you have too many stitches, simply skip a few until you meet your stitch marker. Small mistakes like having too little or too many stitches will go unnoticed in the end, because the fuzzy yarn easily covers any mistakes. Don’t be a perfectionist with fuzzy yarn!
