This crochet animal hat features sweet little ears, a cute 3D snout, and snug earflaps. This winter project is a wonderful, heartwarming gift for animal lovers during the cold season. Crocheting with fluffy yarn gives it a realistic animal look while providing maximum warmth and comfort.

When working with fluffy yarn it is hard to see the stitches you previously made. You can feel the stitch by poking fingers through the stitches.
I didn’t try to insert the hook in 2 loops on the fluffy stitches. Insert any loop (front loop or back loop) you grabbed by the feel, not sight.
When working with fluffy yarn, I recommend you to pick the hook size on the yarn label. Make your stitches loosely than your normal stitches. But you can change the hook size if you want.
