Tips For Working This Easy Bulky Crochet Fleece Pillow
If you’ve ever tried fleece or any other plush type yarn, you know the biggest challenge is seeing your stitches. These tips will make your experience much smoother:
1. Feel the Stitches Instead of Looking
Fleece yarn is more about touch than sight. Use your fingers to feel where the next stitch goes. Soon, your hands will guide you.
2. Use a Larger Crochet Hook
A slightly larger hook helps open up the stitches and makes them easier to find.
3. Rely on Stitch Counts
Counting stitches as you work across the row helps you stay on track.
4. Work in Good Lighting
Bright, overhead lighting reduces shadows and makes it easier to see where your hook needs to go; even with fuzzy yarn.
5. Keep the Pattern Simple
This crochet pillow pattern uses basic stitches on purpose. Simple stitches are easier to repeat and recognize when working with textured yarn.
6. Go Slow
The first few rows are the trickiest. Take your time at the beginning. Once you get the hang of it, the rest flows easily.
