The first project in my furry series is here, and I named it a Furry Squares Blanket. My idea was to find a fast and easy way of working with furry yarn in crochet. No wonder that fur is not the easiest material to crochet with as it is hard (or impossible) to see the stitches because of the massive fluff. And an adventure which should give relaxation and joy turns into headache and unravelling.

But I have found a way. My new pattern is all about chains and spaces. It is much easier to see and feel them. And a combination with non-fluffy yarn for the border helps to count the rows without a problem.

The Furry Squares blanket pattern comes in two versions. If you are not confident yet, try a plain option with just one color of the fluffy yarn. Or add stripes.

And if you want to dive right into the squares and intarsia crochet, it is suggested that you first practice with the non-fluffy yarn to make sure you understand the idea of color changes and stitch placement.

Hope you enjoy!
