Yarn Closer Look

I used an acrylic yarn and a bulk yarn and they both work great with this project. Here are a few yarns that worked well with the project, Red Heart Supersaver, Vanna’s Choice, Bernat Softee Chucky. Really any yarn would work fine. The project is especially perfect for using up your yarn remnants or scrap yarn.

As with many of my projects, creating can be done in many different ways. Learning how to crochet should be a relaxing process but it can take time to develop a technique that works best for you. My goal is to show you how to create beautiful crochet projects from a beginner’s perspective.

2. Yarn over and draw yarn through, pulling up a loop.

3. Yarn over again and pull yarn through the first two loops only on the hook.
