This time, a round one...these are so quick
to make!
I modified a potholder pattern
found here.
~
My changes:
- I used Size 3 crochet cotton and a 3.5mm hook.
- Because of the yarn substitution, after row 2 I worked one row even--no increasing.
- Likewise, after each of rows 3 - 6 of the original pattern, I worked an even row with no increasing.
- I ended with a total of 11 rows, then added the border.
- I used double crochet stitches which I believe equal a UK triple crochet - tr

I just love these dishcloths you are whipping up!
ReplyDeleteDeb it looks great love the colours i am knitting face washers at the moment for my grand-children
ReplyDeleteI love that dishcloth! Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteEach is my favorite till you show the next. :)
ReplyDeleteCould washing dishes with your pretty dishcloths make this job fun? It would for me! Have a great day, Deb!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to make one for my daughter this week! She just sent me an embroidered tea towel for Mother's Day. You do such beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteI've never crochetted or knitted, but you make me want to learn. I especially like the colors of this one. It looks so pretty in the first picture -- the colors go so well with the framed picture. I read your blog every day and enjoy it so much. Thank you and Blessings.
ReplyDeleteI love the round one!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous dishcloth.
ReplyDeleteI don't crochet, but if I did, this would be one of the first items I'd make!
ReplyDeleteGreat dishcloth!
ReplyDeleteSweet, I will have to have my mother make one ;-)

ReplyDeleteI'm new here but so delighted to find this lovely blog. I will be trying this delightful design later today for a wash cloth - too pretty for dirty dishes!

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Clarice :)

ReplyDeleteOkay, that is sweet -- but this was my reaction to these two dish cloths -- How smart are you!? I never thought of using a "heavy" thread instead of worsted weight cotton, but it's a terrific idea -- I find especially with crochet -- that the dish cloth is almost too heavy and doesn't dry at all well (what I'm saying is it gets stinky all too quickly -- especially in the elevated humidity of the spring and summer months). I have to try it -- I'm off to get #3 weight thread. Thanks for the great idea!
ReplyDeleteI'm quite certain at times that I'm not all that smart :) I did want to try to come up with a lighter weight dishcloth that could more easily get in all those nooks & crannies when washing up glasses, etc. Hope you like it, and thank you for visiting!
