Let’s get granny with it! We’re kicking off our first Crochet Along (CAL) with Salena Baca’s Granny Stitch Triangle Bandana—a flexible, beginner-friendly pattern that’s as soothing to make as it is stylish to wear.
Wrap yourself in softness with the Brunia Scarf, knit in Yarn Citizen Trinity Cashmere. This beginner-friendly lace project uses just one skein (held double) and blocks out to a graceful 62″ length. Trinity Cashmere is a lanolin-free blend of alpaca, silk, and cashmere—luxuriously light yet surprisingly easy to work with. Ethically spun from reclaimed fiber remnants, this yarn is part of Yarn Citizen’s commitment to making earth-conscious yarns exceptionally affordable. A mindful project from start to finish.
