Will using a larger hook size make my crocheted piece a little "fluffier"?

Question

I'm making a little snuggle blanket for cats and dogs at our local shelter. The yarn calls for a 4.5mm hook, which I've started the piece with. It's pretty flat and not very soft. If I use a larger hook size will it "fluff" up my work a bit? About how much larger should I go?

Answer 1

It might just make it holier. You would want to use a thicker yarn to make a fluffier blanket.

I wouldn't worry about it though. Our cats enjoy the flattest, itchiest blankets!

Answer 2

it will make it looser not fluffier, you need to use fuzzy yarn to get fluffy and thats expensive usually.
