It is also great for amigurumi and wearables for both kids and adults. I have found that the texture changes as you crochet with it, which leads to amigurumi feeling slightly different than a blanket due to tension stretching out the thread in a different way. However, all final products are still soft and smooth. What yarns can I substitute for Feels Like Butta? Due to the nature of Butta being brand new, there aren’t tons of patterns using it yet. I’ve gathered some patterns of mine that would work really well with Butta!

Make him in a whole range of pastel colors and add your own pop of color in his little bow! Softest Lounge Around Pullover

Round 2: Repeat round 1, working (sc, ch 1, sc) in each ch-1 corner space, join to first sc with slip st; turn. Just so you know how extraordinary it is for me to love this yarn so much, I’ll make a confession to you. I’m a yarn snob. I use almost exclusively natural fibers. There was a time when acrylic would never cross the threshold of my yarn stash, but I’ve discovered acrylic has its uses. Because it’s cost effective, I can complete larger projects, like blankets, without blowing the yarn budget. Most acrylic is machine washable, so I use it for projects that are being knit for friends and family who don’t want to provide extra special care like hand washing. It is a great yarn for beginners. The stitches are easy to see. It behaves a lot like acrylic yarn without the scratchiness. Row 1: Hdc in 2nd ch from hook, dc into same ch, *skip next 2 ch, (sc, hdc, dc) into next ch; repeat from * to end, sc in last ch; turn.

When creating an amigurumi with Feels Like Butta, I have had great success when using Forever Fleece Finer by Bernat along with it, even if it is a larger yarn with a recommended hook of 6mm (US: 10). It almost has the exact same texture, but it is fuzzier and does pill a little bit.Crochet baby blanket patterns have come a long way since I was making them.

Do you ever go on a crochet binge and just keep making a lot of the same type of project over and over? I do that a lot and lately my binge has been baby blankets! I hope you enjoy blankets, because the Lilac Meadows Baby Blanket is one of my favorites. Due to this unique structure, the stitch definition is just out of this world – which is amazing considering the softness of this yarn! You know how a lot of super soft yarns are also super fuzzy and hard to work with & nearly no stitch definition? If fraying does happen, and the thread ends up with weaker spots, it would be a good idea to snip off the thin area and reattach your yarn. The thin areas are prone to snapping, which is not ideal for items. You probably want to make sure your items stand the test of time!

Yep, it really does folks. I first squeezed these skeins during my trip to New York City for the #LBYBloggerBash and couldn’t believe the softness. I just kept stroking it and dreaming about what to make (more on that in a moment). That’s it! This blanket turned out so well and the sedge stitch was just perfect for this yarn. I hope you will give it a try! Fast forward a few years and it’s been a while since I’ve made a baby blanket. In fact, my kids’ friends are now getting married and having babies, and let me tell you, that’s weird! There is something so sweet about crochet baby blankets. I love the way they feel and the Lion Brand Yarn Feels Like Butta is amazing for baby makes! I’ve made a couple of baby sweaters, hats and mittens with it and it is a wonderful yarn for babies.Round 3: Slip st into ch-1 space of corner, ch 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc in same space, *skip next sc, sc in next st, skip next sc, 5 dc in next sc; repeat from * around, working ch 5 shell in each corner. End 2 dc in same ch-1 space as beginning, join with slip st to ch-3; do not turn. Round 1: Ch 1, sc evenly around blanket edge, working (sc, ch 1, sc) in each corner, join to first sc with slip st; do not turn. The best way I can describe the yarn is velvet. It has such a soft velvety feel. The texture of the yarn makes it perfect for intimate garments that touch the skin, it hugs you with just the right amount of warmth without suffocating you. Such projects include indoor footwear, cardigans, baby garments (oh my gosh baby garments!) This yarn screams “touch me” with it’s texture. Project: It does not fray easily or leave bits of the fuzz behind when crocheting with it, which is a very nice touch that any crafter can appreciate. While it is not prone to fraying, you do need to be careful when cutting your ends. I personally like to use Feels Like Butta with items that use half double crochets or double crochets (half treble and treble crochets in UK terms). It allows the items to work up faster (always a nice plus), and it makes it feel less dense than they would if made with single crochets (double crochets in UK terms).
