The Yarn That Is Perfect to Use on This Crochet Pillow
I have been working on this patriotic crochet pillow pattern for a while now and am so excited to be able to share it! I used Lily Sugar’n Cream yarn, which is one of my favorite cotton yarns to work with to make this fun red, white and blue design.
If you don’t have this particular yarn, then no worries you can substitute a different cotton yarn and still get the same results!
Also, if you are thinking that this pillow looks too hard to even try I can assure you that it is not! If you are a new crocheter then this pattern is for you! I promise this is easy to learn and make.
Really the best part is that this pillow would be a great decoration for more than one celebration!
Just think of the Fourth of July, Memorial Day, and Labor Day! Happy Crocheting!
