Lily Sugar’n Cream original Cotton is the classic workhorse cotton, perfect for dishcloths, washcloths, and produce bags. Cotton dishcloths and washcloths are a sustainable dream: they are reusable, long-lasting, robust, don’t shed plastic micro-particles into waterways, and when they do eventually reach the end of their life you can compost them! And cotton produce bags are lightweight, portable, and totally washable (in case of incidents with the tomatoes being under the potatoes: it happens to all of us). Grab some now and whip up some cloths and bags for amazing sustainable Christmas presents. Lily Sugar’n Cream Original Cotton Patterns There is no escape…from dishes! But you can make washing up fun with this Darth Vader Dishcloth/Washcloth pattern by The Pointy End Knitting, and there are a whole lot of other designs available too. The pattern is easy to follow and includes a chart. The C2C Silt Blanket by Maria’s Blue Crayon is constructed corner to corner using a silt stitch. It has a lovely texture and is fairly simple to make. The pattern is for a 91cm square blanket, but has options for enlarging it and making it rectangular. Dexter the Dilophosaurus Dinosaur Amigurumi by Charlyn Smith has both a dilophosaurus and a raptor pattern that you can make. Each one is about 28 centimetres tall. This is a pattern well worth paying for – it includes a full colour PDF that has photos, a video walkthrough and a text-only section. Crochet the Deep Ocean Baby Blanket pattern by Bori Vorga for a new baby in your life. Or add some squares and make it for someone a little bigger! The patterns in the squares are evocative of marine life. About Lily Sugar’n Cream A favorite of the craft community for years, Lily Sugar’n Cream is made of 100% USA grown cotton.
