Hi there,i also bought this pom pom yarn, and i think it is so fun. basic crochet pattern - i chained 100 stitches and then for each row - double crochet, chain 1, skip a stitch, repeating across the row. So far i am about 1/4 of the way done, it is so fluffy and is going to be very warm. I think this yarn is easy to work with, just don't pull the pom poms through the stitches, work in between the pom poms.
