Great , lovely design

[@bridgetmehringer1702]

I made a pillow that had an envelope backing so you can pull out pillow insert to wash. I'm going to attempt to do this.

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

That's a great idea!

[@fabianacosta7976]

The pillow is adorable but I have a question...instead of working with many bobbins of yarn can I just carry-on the yarn as I go?? Thanks

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

Thank you! You absolutely can do that! You may just be able to see the other color yarn poking though

[@fabianacosta7976]

@@TheTurtleTrunk i tried working with few skeins of yarn before to make a hat and was a nightmare...depending of the color will be cute ( I think ) having the color peaking up...😁

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

@@fabianacosta7976 it can definitely be tricky managing all the yarn so do whatever you feel most comfortable with! I think it will look great! Best of luck!

Hey i love this one! i have a question though if i want to make it a 14*14 inches how many stitch should i start with? TIA!

[@daliasarkar382]

Beautiful pattern❤️❤️how can I customize this for thinner yarn?

[@dutchessx]

Instead of using faux yarn can I use velvet wool for the heart & the faux wool for the background of the pillow?

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

Absolutely!

Very well done video - I'm adding this pattern to my to-do list! Quick question: is it hard to crochet with the faux fur yarn? It seems like it can be tricky to see where your stitches are...

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

It's very hard to see your stitches with the faux fur yarn, so I find it much easier to use your fingers to feel for the stitches. Just be sure to count your stitches very carefully and you should be fine!

Was so disappointed I got the 2 Hue + me balls of yarn.. went down a half a needle size and I have a more tight than loose tension. I just now had to order another ball. Not even sure I will make it to last 4 rows. Love the pattern but just letting others know the amount of yarn I needed was more.

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

Im sorry you had this experience! When you are done your pillow I would love to know the approximate yardage of Hue + Me you used so I can make a note of that in the pattern. Thank you!

Hello, can you add Turkish subtitles? 🙋🏻‍♀️🤩

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

Unfortunately I don’t know Turkish! But you may find it more helpful to follow along with the written pattern on my blog, then copy and paste the directions into google translate!
