15 Crochet Patterns to Make With Cotton Yarn

Every so often, as I’m scrolling through social media, I see this question: “I just bought some cotton yarn… what should I make with it?” I see it frequently enough that I thought I would put together a round up of some ideas for those who have this question.

The Benefits of Cotton Yarn

Two distinctive benefits of cotton yarn are that it is 1) absorbent and 2) holds up well with washing and drying. This makes cotton yarn a great choice for items that will be getting wet or that need to be washed frequently. Some examples are cleaning items, kitchen items, beach or outdoor activity items, and bags.
