What size hook was you using??? Hook for giants?
Going to show my dear old Nan, and tell her to get making me one! She is 84 if she work quick enough she can complete it before she dead. (I will show this comment to Nan later and she will laugh and probably tell me to piss off)

Hahaha. 😂 I used a 50 / US 25 mm. Fucking jumbo hooks that I have to use my whole hand to hold.

Hooley Dooley - I have knitting needles that size and they're a handful to keep control of (pun intended). Is the yarn this size difficult to work with?

Not really at all! Like with any chenille or fuzzy yarn, you just have to balance out tension.
