Pattern confirmed loaded

[@linedanzer4302]

What a terrific idea! To stuff it I have zip lock bags full of *yarn tips* (gathered when I cut the tails off of various projects). I crochet a lot so I literally have enough to stuff that entire draft dodger blocker. Love this project and can't wait to do it.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

That's a great idea!

[@lynnegordon6749]

Great idea for the bits of yarn that I always throw out. Thank you!

[@janebyrd1640]

Great yarn snips as stuffing ! Great tip

[@Loralane75]

Totally tubular dude 😎

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

haha... I haven't heard that saying in a long time. Richeous! :D

Love this, I stuffed it with old tshirts that I was going to throw away llololol less waist.

Great idea!

This is so cool! And for some reason it makes me crave a crochet snake pattern🐍🧶😂

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I wonder why!? haha

[@teresafreeman2203]

The 1 of 1 and 2 if one etc reminds me of how we would label out music sheets

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Oh.. I have never heard of that but I haven't studied music either. Neat!

[@kl8132]

LOVE this idea and boy do I have scrap yarn to use, thank you. Mikey you are awesome and I love your new intro, very welcoming. Have a great week my friend

Just finished my 'sausage' 🤩. Started on Friday evening en 5 minutes ago I put it in front of the door of our living room. I used cotton, just one strand with a 4mm hook and it worked out really fine. Changed irregularly between 5 different soft colours to give it a bit of character. I think I will make some more for the other rooms in the house! ❤

[@Islandflower66]

I love the way you showed the scdec! I just learned a new technique, woot Woot! No more lumps! Definitely going to use this! 💕 😊

I was just looking at these, in a catalog, to purchase. Not crochet just plain material. I am glad I didn’t. So Happy this popped up. Thanks so much. 🙋🏽‍♀️😁

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Pretty easy to make. Glad you found this free pattern.

[@clairechapin5221]

I have so many color combinations in my mind. Can really get creative. Plus I have a lot of super saver I won't use on anything else. Thank you. People think these are just for winter. But it also keeps cool air in in summer.

[@marthacombs7575]

I love this idea. I am moving from Florida to Ohio and this will come in handy. Thank you for the tip about the decrease I will definitely use this in the future.

30 seconds into the vid and my mind is blown! I never thought of double stranding on a single cake! 🤯

Ah huh! Learn something everyday! It forces colour sto cross over and eventually get solid parts. If you see this basket, I did the same thing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4aYnWSAbpWeqsk

Hi! Has anyone tried this using rice for stuffing for a bit of extra weight? I'm thinking of putting small fabric bags of rice in the ends? Love this idea! 😊

I click on the links, but it opens a web page with the instructions and many advertisements. Where can I get the PDF by itself?

I have to make it. Leave it with me. I have people complaining they don't like my downloads. So I am on the fence as ˆI cannot seem to make everyone happy.

[@susanmorris5294]

Because I have a funny feeling that it is going to be a horrible brrr... winter season.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

They claim here in Nova Scotia it will be a warm winter. It’s already warm still.

[@susanmorris5294]

Mikey what about using a ruler 📏 to push the stuffing in.just a suggestion i have been crocheting since I was 7 years old. I am 64 years old senior citizen.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

You could try that.

[@hourglas39]

I was thinking you'd stuff it with something heavy like marbles or rocks to keep it in place to keep the door secure.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

great idea.

[@ecouturehandmades5166]

I was wondering what you used as a stuffing? I thought I would try plastic grocery bags, as long as they didn't get too compacted...

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I just used polyfil for crafts and toys. You can try other things. I want it washable so anything inside I don't want to collect moisture that cannot evaporate.

[@susanmorris5294]

I will be making this because my house is drafty. Can you make it the length of your windows.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

It can be any length you need.

[@impunitythebagpuss]

Could I use bulky yarn ? I seem to have many scraps of #5 weight left over.....

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

For sure.

[@cindyl823]

works up really fast but how do you clean it?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Washing machine if you used polyfil like I did.

[@marciasylvester7990]

why cant we use one strand? just curious thank you!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

It thickens up the material but if you are happy with using 1 strand, by all means do it. :D

[@thecowgirlrule]

Hey Mikey could I do this on a loom

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I think so.
