- This video goes over my best tips and tricks (as well as pros and cons) for crocheting with super chunky or super bulky plush/ microfiber/ baby blanket yarn.
The Hobbii Baby Snuggle yarn I use: hobbii.com/baby-snuggle-solid
Similar yarns from other brands: Himalaya Dolphin Baby, James C Brett Flutterby, Bernat baby blanket yarn
(I haven't used these personally as I don't get them in Australia)
Please share any other tips you have for this yarn in the comments!

Your tips are EXACTLY what I needed!!! My plush was rounding right at the beginning and I had no idea why!! Now I know I need use a bigger hook or add more stitches. Thank you so much!! 💜🎃💜
I have searched all over the internet to figure out why my plush yarn curls and I could not find any answers anywhere. You are the first person who actually answered my question and foxed my problem. Thank you so much
I saw that yarn and instantly placed and order lol! Thanks for the tutorial. It's so precious and I can't wait to make these for my neices and nephews. 😊
I was struggling with the cone..thanks a lot. This video is really helpful❣
I've just come across your channel, I've done standard amigurumi before and want to try plush amigurumi, thanks for sharing 👍
thanks for these tile. They are very helpful. I like the explanation of which kinds of projects work best with this yarn.
Thanks for the tips! I tend the have a cone shape with the start of my projects that use thicker yarn. But I am using the recommend hook size. I might try to go up one more size and see if that helps. Thanks!
I hope it helps! Also, depending on the project, the slight cone shape sometimes doesn't matter as it can sometimes get minimised by stuffing etc.
Just ran across your channel and love it thanks you for sharing your gift
Thank you so much!
The tips and tricks were terrific and so was the turtle and lama!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the tips !
Thank you so much for the tips.
Terrific tips and tricks. I still need to get to your site for the llama pattern. He is just so fabulous.
Ah thank you! I love him too 😍😍
Love your videos. Can you do a video about your top hooks for amigurumis?
Great video! What smaller wool did you use for the lama? Thanks
Great tips
Thank you!
Do you have directions for the smaller turtle? Love your videos!!!
I want the turtle pattern!♥️
Thanks 🌷
Hi again another question I don't know different countries yarn size is the Super Bulky uyou use always a size 5, do u use a size 6 too?? Tgank you for yr patience💕
Do you have a pattern for that turtle? It's super cute!
Hi, great tips, but my problems is when sewing in my ends they keep coming out. I have tried using long strands and weaving
them into the stitches but at the very last entry point it still comes out. I have made several toys for my grandkids and after time
they look terrible with all the strands coming out. Not sure what I"m doing wrong, i think its because the yarn is a bit silky so works
tis way out easily or is it just me. Do you have any tips for this please? thanks Mandy
Hi thanks for the video! Are all 3 yarns at the start the same size? The beige one looks thicker than the other 2. Which one is that please?
Hello , i was wondering, when it's finished, how does it feel like when we touch it ? is it soft like a little cat or is it more like a velvet touch ? 🥰
Thank you for all the tips! Do you have any advice how to get rid of the cone head after the plushie is done? I have almost completed my project and don't want to take the whole thing apart to start over with a bigger hook so I'm wondering if you know how to get rid of it after?
did you finish off properly? You can try to insert the yarn in the cone shape and pull through the head to kind of make it sink.
Thanks for the tips and tricks. One qn. Do u directly stuff the polyfill inside the toy or place it inside some stockings and then stuff
You can do it either way. 😉
How do you find the chenille yarn works with safety eyes? My biggest fear is they will pull out easily
Hi! I struggle a lot with this type of yarn. I’ve been crocheting for years, but just started out with this type of yarn. When I crochet with this yarn some stitches on the outside “bubble”. They poke out and it looks super ugly. I’ve tried crocheting a bit tighter but it didn’t solve the problem. On the internet I couldn’t find a solution so lets try here! Tips and tricks please!😅
I think it has to do with when you do a stitch and accidentaly take a strand that you tool by accident it enlarges that stich and that may be the issue, not sure though! Hope it helped
Hi I've just found you & subsc. Can u help me please? Is it a 5/6 plush yarn always would a 2 strand light plush work I've lots don't know how to use it.❣
How do items made from this yarn hold up?
Thanks
Those were really helpful!
I wanted ask about the care for the plush toys made with the yarn, can you wash them? How do u wash them?
30° wash, don’t tumble dry just air dry :)
Get soapy water and gently massage it i guess?
Dry in the sun if the yarn is okay with it. Sometimes the yarn will have instructions to only dry in the shade.
What do i do with the fact that it frays when its cut?
Is there a pattern or video for the turtle?
I have a huge problem with plus yarn. I LOVE IT but when I want to tighten my magic ring, the yarn breaks😢 Any tips?
hello! fellow aussie here! so how do you get the hobbii yarn? I'm assuming that you order it from canada (which is where the brand is located) or is there a place in aus that does it. Do you reccommend any yarns that you can get in australia at like spotlight? Wanting to do this but dont wanna wait forever for yarn to be shipped from canada!! :)))
Hey! I wish Spotlight or Lincraft stocked yarn like this! I get Hobbii yarn from their website (delivery is from Denmark and pretty quick) or I order James C Brett from Lovecrafts online. You might find some Himalaya Dolphin Baby which is very similar, in the mill end bins in spotlight (4 pack for $10). I’m waiting for Australia to catch up honestly 😂
Thankyou so much!! There’s a brand I found on spotlights website called Bella Baby Nippers that looks pretty similarish that I’m gonna try out, so hopefully that goes well hahahaha. Thankyou so much for responding to me xx
Yes I have made a few things with that actually! It’s nice and soft, and slightly thinner than the other yarns I mentioned … kind of velvety 😊
Thanks. But the yarn is a little bit similar with velvet yarn right?
Yes very similar!
Thanks! Is it difficult to embroider eyes on it? Would I have to use plush to do it?
i embroider eyes with it with any yarn type! i tend to use paintbox's chunky brand for it but im sure it just depends on your preference!
@@noahliine Great! Thanks:)
what crochet hook size
👍👍👍

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
How many plushies can you make w a 100m yarn?
It's funny because in my country plush yarn is so cheap and other yarns are so expensive !
I didn't realize using the wrong hook will do that to your project.
My turtle, I made following your tutorial, but it isn’t tight at all. It’s squishy, and a lot bigger than your large one. Any tips for next time? Also, my turtle’s arms flop around, unlike yours. Can anyone help?
It depends on what yarn you’re using… thicker yarn will give a bigger result. Hook size needs to match the yarn too 🥰
Maybe you need to stuff it more😆
@@jelen2579 I’ve been crocheting for a while now, I re-made the turtle and it went well: my issue was my dumb self decided, “oh, I have fluffy yarn (wasn’t that big though) I should use a size 9 hook ;-;” so I now use a size 5mm
@@aimsanimations2905 I just bought my first cheniles lol, it's 7mm in diameter, what hook size do you think could go with it?? Thank you!!
@@jelen2579 I’m no expert, but if your yarn is like that of the video, I would say somewhere in the range of 4.75-5.5, though 5.5 *might* be too big. For yarn like that I typically use a 4.75, and it works great for me! I would go no lower than 4.25 if you choose that route, either. Hope this helps!
You described the yarn but you never said what yarn brand it is. Can someone plsss tell me I have been trying to find the right yarn for a long time.
Hobbii Baby Snuggle, or James C Brett Flutterby Chunky, or Himalaya Dolphin baby. I believe premier parfait chunky is similar too
Thank you
Y el cuerpo del elefante?
