Creative Crafts: Tips & Free Patterns

I have put together a few ⭐️tricks for crochet with furry yarn⭐️ that I have developed myself over crochet of dozens fluffy amigurumies for those who want to make it easier and faster: ❗️Remember that the ability to work with textured yarn comes with experience! (oddly enough?😉) The more often you use it, the easier it will be with each created toy. ✅1. Good lighting. The best option is to crochet in daylight by the window, but if this is not possible, then you can use a headlamp with cold light (with cold light (5000K is optimal for me, higher will be brighter, but too cold is unpleasant for my eyes).  ✅2. Take a larger hook. Then the loops will be larger and easier to see. There may be gaps, but the texture of the yarn will hide them. Read more »
