I mean it's a blanket it'll take time! It also just gets cozier for you to crochet the longer it gets 🤣

I’ll get to a point in the yarn that suddenly feels soggy and have to look for a cat 😂

LOL but they are too cute to be upset Side note: I feel like you could totally use a thicker crochet hook here.. that's some thick yarn. Also it's worth it to invest in ergonomic hooks.. they look hilarious but my hands don't get tired as quickly

So the label on the yarn recommended this size, does that mean I don’t have to totally listen to that? I thought it felt small but I was afraid to go rogue on my first blanket 😂 I’m also learning that about the hooks quickly lol I have a comfy one that’s a 4, but obviously I need more. This one is just borrowed from a shared stash at the brewery my husband works at 😅

I go rogue... a lot 😅 How tightly you crochet and the look you want will help you decide on hook size too! You can also get cheap grips for the ones you already have!
