What else can you crochet with plush yarn besides amigurumi and blankets?

Hello, dear community and fellow crocheters!

I was given a large amount of plush yarn and am now wondering what else I could crochet with it besides amigurumi and baby blankets.
It’s really very thick, with a length of 80 to 140 meters per 100 grams, suitable for hook sizes 6 to 12.
I have between 100 and 400 grams of each color.

Knitting isn’t an option for me, since I can only crochet.

Do you have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Best regards

How about a cozy scarf, a hat, or a sleeveless vest?

Or a loop/scoodie...
Mittens for Anton or a fluffy hat
A pillowcase, slipper socks
, or simply a big draft stopper for the door or window—I did that with my extra-thick yarn last year, too. Whatever was left over went into the draft stopper as stuffing

Oh great, thank you so much for your quick replies.

Do you perhaps have any specific patterns for me? I’ve never worked with yarn this thick before.

Hi

Have you checked out the free patterns here yet?

Under “Crochet,” for example, in the “Pillows” section, you’ll find a suitable pattern for a seat cushion using hook size 12.
There’s also a pouf there, and .......

You could also crochet my free star-motif pillow pattern (in my shop) with the lilac and purple cuddly yarn ... it works with many different yarns

A makeup bag? Made from the purple one? :-)

Hello dear “crafting sister,” don’t be afraid to give knitting a try. Until 2012, I only knew knit and purl stitches too. Take a look at my blog to see everything I’ve made since then; you’ll also find free patterns here: 

Please do not put external links in posts. Advertising is also only allowed in the threads intended for that purpose.

I learned to knit with the help of videos on the internet. Elizza was very helpful with that.

This was my very first knitted piece.

I would recommend knitting a scarf and hat from this thick, fluffy yarn—give it a try. Of course, you could also crochet the pieces.
You can also find free crochet and knitting patterns, including help videos, here:


Have fun and good luck. Best regards, anbijusi, also known as Biggi

@anbijusi,
please don’t include external links in your posts.
Advertising is only allowed in the designated advertising threads, and only patterns uploaded to crazypatterns are permitted there. As a general rule, please do not promote patterns from external sites in the crazypatterns forum—thank you.

We have certain rules here, but if you post here more often, that will soon become clear. I hope you have lots of fun here and much success.
