Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle with these free knitting patterns
Have you ever actually looked at your garbage can and realized just how much you throw away every week? The amount of cardboard and plastic and paper that we accumulate just sitting around our homes is astounding. Of course, we do recycle and try and use those refillable water bottles, but that’s just not as fun as knitting your way out of the waste!
Forget one-use face wipes and coffee-house cardboard sleeves, with a bit of scrap yarn and some patience you can have knit washcloths and knit mug cozies that will do the job just as well without anything having to go into the garbage!
Instead of tossing out your grocery bags, knit yourself a whole cartful of knit bags! You’ll be saving a few plastic bags from the ocean and make those cereal boxes and piles of apples look twice as good.
Reduce your carbon footprint with this list of 22 Eco-Friendly Knit Patterns.
