Use separate scrap/acrylic yarn for your magic circle… wrap twice round your finger/s like you normally would and then crochet your 6 sc (or whatever) fluffy yarn into it as normal…. The scrap yarn will then pull tight smoothly and it also can’t be seen, and you won’t get frustrated or break your fluffy/plushie/blanket/velvet yarn at all…super easy and now I don’t swear at the start of every piece! P.S. I’m sooo buying that monster pattern next payday… it’s soooo cute! Tho i still have your otter to make, I bought that 2 weeks ago… but yay, long Easter/crochet break is coming!

Hahaha yess!!! I should’ve mentioned that the pattern is Gizmo the Goblin by Crochet with Kelsea

[@ASquareGranny]

Excellent tips!!! The neck light is AWESOME - total game changer for me, with all types of yarn; even in decent lighting, it really helps. I haven’t tried this fuzzy/furry yarn yet, but I’m tempted! Your patterns would look FANTABULOUS in this yarn! They’re such fun patterns! 🧶🫶🏻☺️

[@crochetmezaddy]

Right?? I just need more colours! I currently just have grey? 🤣

[@shawnfuller1319]

I absolutely needed to hear this video. Ok too go hook size and ok to fudge stitching if your off by one or two😊

[@MagicByIzzy]

What great timing!!! I'm about to start my first faux fur yarn project

[@crochetmezaddy]

Hope it goes well!

[@cro_with_the_flo]

Wow as a beginner to crochet I found this super informative and got lots of good tips. I recommend this video to anyone who is new to the hobby.

[@crochetmezaddy]

You’re very welcome William

I decided to listen and be forgiving to myself and use a larger crochet hook and it's already working so well!! I'm wondering what pet brush you use for the fur, I'm working on a project that uses plush yarn that then switches into fur yarn so I can't turn it inside out but still want it as fluffy as possible! 😋

[@megsmith9675]

I started learning to crochet this week and for some reason I always end up with more stitches than I should have after every row even tho I count them. Could you please please Please do a beginners tips, tricks / how to learn crochet. I'm a week in, dream of making plushies as neat as you but wanna cry cause I can't seem to get it right xxx

[@crochetmezaddy]

Is this with fluffy yarn or in general? Perhaps there are some accidental increases happening in your work, just make sure you're using a stitch marker at the end of each round

[@Lorena-qt8qf]

Thanks!! What yarn is it? What brand?

[@randommusings48]

Hi Zac, where did you get your faux fur yarn from?
