Who else is obsessed with dogs?! Especially ones in frog hats?! I for sure am, so I decided to create this little guy with a twist, I used fluffy yarn by Bernat to make him!
Using fluffy yarn may be intimidating at first, and trust me I messed up for quite a bit when I first tried to use it, but it's completely doable! My number one tip is to use your fingers to FEEL for the next stitch. This tip helped me a ton when I first started working with this type of yarn.
But if you do find that you're missing or have more stitches than you should, just make a increase or decrease wherever necessary! (no one will see it anyway :) )
