Question: I haven't made this yet but i'm going too.. After I'm finished and do the boarder and what not could throwing it in the washer and dryer make it oober soft?

[Bethintx1]

@theravenlove Yes. Or use steam. I have a steamer and I soften acrylic with it.  You could use an iron, just do not let the metal plate of the iron touch the yarn. It will melt acrylic. I saw a tip someone sat a cookie cooling rack on top of her crochet then used the steam from the iron through the rack to keep it from touching the acrylic. You will have to re-fill the steam well of the iron several times during the process.

I think that those colors look really good together, especially for a child! I think you did a wonderful job and am making one myself with your videos. It is my first project and it has definitely been a learning experience. I really enjoy it and would not have been able to do it without your videos! Thanks!
