Get to know Yarn Citizen

For this crochet pattern, I chose Yarn Citizen Unity Worsted and Yarn Citizen Trinity Cashmere. You might remember the Yarn Citizen line from the Oloosa Shawl! Yarn Citizen is focused on creating yarn that is good for the planet. Its focus is to remain a sustainable and affordable yarn for all makers. The line includes non-superwash yarns to reduce water usage and yarn leftovers that would otherwise find their way into landfills.

At the end of today, Yarn Citizen is motivated to prove to the world that sustainability and affordability can go hand in hand.

• After the joining round, This pattern is worked in the round without turning or joining.

• This pattern is written in crochet shorthand ‘sc 2’ means to single crochet in the next two stitches; ‘2sc’ means to work two single crochet stitches into the same stitch.

• All Double crochets will be worked 2 rows below the current row you are working on and in the front loop. See image for details.
