Working with faux fur yarn can be a bit challenging because the stitches are hard to see. Instead of relying on sight, focus on feeling for the stitches with your fingers as you work. Faux fur yarn is forgiving, so slight imperfections won’t show in the finished piece. Be patient with yourself—it’s worth the effort for the adorable, fluffy result!
