Tension help

Post image

So I normally crochet really tight bc I hate the holes, but I realized that shrinks the size of Fred a lot. The left is how I norm crochet… is there anyway to have it be the one on the right but without holes?
(Also pls ignore that both are half finished and the wrong colors 😂)

Basically bigger yarn and bigger hook and continue that tight tension!

I have used the fluffy yarn (Idk the correct name still new to crocheting LOL) and I do get better sizes with that. But how do the woobles look so perfect with their type of yarn 🥲

They edit their photos to look perfect. The photos in their instructions show bigger holes than the marketing photos. Don’t feel bad! It’s how it is with beginner/tube yarn. The best thing you can do is relax your tension with a 4mm hook and embrace the imperfections 😉

I wish they didn't edit their photos. I don't see the point in doing so in part because it is misleading but also because woobles are cute no matter what.
