Adorable Soft Chenille Plushies
Crocheting plushies with chenille yarn is a huge trend, especially on social media. Among younger crafters, using chenille yarn like Durable Velvet is especially popular! That’s why we couldn’t let this spring pass without adding some cheerful amigurumi projects to our collection.
Caroline from CutiePieDesigns, the designer behind this cat cushion, is a true cat lover. The idea for this cat-shaped neck pillow quickly came to life—it’s perfect for her son to snuggle with while reading or gaming in bed!

Lilian Cardigan
As you’ve already seen, Durable Velvet is also perfect for crocheting stylish garments. After the huge success of the beloved ‘Ice Ice Baby’ cardigan, which was also made with Durable Velvet, Dorine from Op de Haakwolk has designed another wonderfully soft cardigan using this cozy yarn. This time, it’s a short cardigan that can easily double as a jacket for those chilly spring days. Just like the Ice Ice Baby cardigan, this one can be customized to your own measurements! The sample pieces were made in colors 396 Lavender, 282 Light Blue, and 2137 Mint.
