 Hey there, so today I learned this new cool trick for me. It's new it might not be new for you, but what it is is if you have a light yarn, I'm using the mandala. It's a little thin like this. It's a light DK3 weight it normally requires a 5 millimeter hook. I want to do something a little chunkier. What I'm gonna do is show you a trick I learned on how to make a thin yarn thicker. So what you do first is you make an S like this with your yarn, just a big S, then once you have your S, you bunch it together like that and then you're gonna do your regular roll slip knot. Of course, there's an airplane going by. Okay, now that the airplane is gone, so you go ahead and you make your regular slip knot and then you start working your base chain. And as you're working your base chain, you'll notice that the triple layers begin to become a little bit less where you get to the end. So what you do is you take this loop here that you've got, you just simply pull your yarn through. After you pull it through, straighten it out and you've got an extra long piece. You see where you kind of pulled it through there, but you can't even notice when you're working it, when it comes up to that point. Again, you just keep doing the same thing and that's how you end up having extra super thick chunky yarn with this mandala or whatever other light yarn you're using. See, here we are again at that point. So once you get there, it takes a little bit of extra time, but it's kind of worth it because it makes a really cool different look to the yarns that we normally just use and see it has this chunky, chunky, and it's really soft. So I hope you enjoy this tutorial. If you have any questions, let me know. You can always contact me on my page, my website, or email me at stardustgoldcrochet.com. Thanks for watching!
