Cozy Faux Fur Rug

 Faux Fur yarn is luxurious.

Any project made with faux fur yarn looks and feels gorgeous.

The ONLY disadvantage is not being able to SEE your stitches. 

It takes a few times, a few frogs, and you'll get it.  You have to FEEL for the stitches.

I wouldn't suggest crocheting with faux fur yarn if you are a beginner. Definitely give it a try once you've gotten the basics of crochet locked in.

Now for this rug...I wanted to make a cozy rug for my toes for my Dream Box desk.

(Side note: use the code OTHCROCHETNOOK for $100 off your Dream Box)

I didn't want it to large, but just enough to lay under my desk legs.

You can make this as large as you want, once you get the hang of the pattern - it's easy to understand where to increase.

This yarn is from WeCrochet.  

Fable Fur is 100% polyester and holds its shape so well. 

It's a bulky weight meaning your project will whip up very quickly.

Notes before you begin:

• Using a stitch marker is MANDATORY. You will not be able to SEE your stitches, so to re-count is a difficult task if you aren't sure if you've finished a round or not. Place your marker in the first or last stitch of each round.
• I crocheted looser than I normally would so I could feel the stitches easier.  If your stitches are tight it will make it even more difficult to FEEL for them
• Chain 1 at the beginning of each round is optional
