I love an easy crochet DIY.
This crochet pattern is super easy and a fun weekend DIY. Plus it's extremely sustainable and makes a great gift too.
I like to use Lily N' Cream cotton yarn, but you can use any as long as it's cotton. I'd steer clear of any other fibers as they tend to be made of plastic and we don't want to be rubbing that on our faces, now do we.
