The Yarn That Is Perfect For 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 (four weight) and still get the same results!

Lily Sugar’n Cream

This yarn is made by Yarnspirations, and is a Weight 4 – Medium yarn.
