Do you have some craft or value yarn You don’t know what to do with? Or some yarn you don’t think is quite soft enough? This bag is perfect for that type of yarn! Other yarns I think would work well would be lion brand 24/7, any medium weight #4 cotton yarn, Caron cotton cakes, a non-pilling acrylic yarn, red heart super saver. Keep in mind, the Lion Brand 24/7 and the Caron Cotton cakes are a thinner #4 yarn which might affect the size of the finished product slightly.

I am a loose crocheter. If you know that you crochet tightly, I would recommend using a larger hook.

HDC in back and third loop=Crochet in back and third loop (insert your hook into back loop, tilt your work toward you and you will see a smaller half bar/loop underneath. Insert your hook into that stitch as well. This gives your stitch a little bit more stability than using back loop only.)
