Red Heart Hygge yarn, which is used in this pattern, is extremely soft and drapey yarn is twisted with a short fur end. Due to the nature of the yarn’s structure it can sometimes be harder to see through video where you stitches are. For that reason I will be using a different yarn at some points in the video so that you can clearly see what I am doing for the stitches.

This crochet video will demonstrate techniques and several crochet stitches including: chain stitch, half double crochet, how to work into foundation chains, how to work into the horizontal bar, how to work in the back loop, and how to make a knotted fringe.
