Can you use blanket yarn in any pattern? Yes- but with a simple rule change. If you’ve ever tried to make a pattern originally designed for regular or fine yarn, but with blanket yarn, you might notice it comes out longer or skewed. This is because blanket yarn Yarn-Over SC’s are taller in proportion. It’s almost like you made the whole thing with HDC’s instead. But we can prevent that problem by using Yarn-Under!

I struggled with blanket yarn for a while without understanding why- but I think I’ve figured it out with the yarn unders. Let me know your experiences with it, and if you do make one of my patterns with this fuzzy nightmare string, tag me! Post a picture in a review so others know it’s possible!
