What to focus on
Watch the direction in which the hook catches the yarn and compare the finished stitches. Keep one method consistent across a sample, then make a second sample for comparison. Judge both the texture and the size of the resulting fabric.
Practice with Andy
Play the video once to see the result, then replay it in short sections as you work. Keep a small sample nearby to test the technique before using it on your finished plushie.
