I chose the super squishy Re-Spun Thick & Quick and it did not disappoint. This Super Bulky yarn gives amazing stitch definition and works up into the coziest blanket ever! Plus it comes in so many gorgeous shades you’ll want to make one for every room of the house.
Even though this a very beginner friendly pattern I went ahead and included a video tutorial so you can see exactly what to do.
