Faux Fur Throw
"When I spotted the Hygge Fur yarn from Red Heart, I knew it had to be a blanket. This faux fur throw is perfect for cuddling up on the couch. This faux fur throw pattern is remarkably simple to crochet. Because this is a furry yarn, there is a bit of a learning curve, but nothing that the novice can’t conquer! In fact, this blanket may be the easiest blanket I have ever designed. With this yarn, I find it helps if you keep your tension a bit on the loose side. Feel for the stitches instead of looking for them. (great for practicing speed and blind crocheting!) It helps if you count stitches every few rows. Note that you can not count your stitches after the fact when crocheting with this yarn; it is simply too fuzzy to see. Counting for the duration of one row every few rows helps to ensure that you are not losing or gaining stitches. If you need to sneak another stitch in, or remove one, no one will ever know. Not even you."
