I love homemade dishcloths and hot pads. I am in the process of crocheting at least a dozen in different patterns. These work up so easily! Below is the instructions for the one I just finished. If you need help to learn the crochet stitches go to click here
Enjoy!
Finished Size: Approximately 13 x 13
Materials
100% cotton Worsted Weight Yarn, approximately:
2 1/2 ounces
Crochet hook size H
Gauge: 16dc and 6 rows = 4"
Ch 53
Row 1 ( Right side): Dc in fourth ch from hook and in next 3 chs, (skip next 2 chs, dc in next 4 chs, ch 2, dc in next 4 chs) across to last 6 chs, skip next 2 chs, dc in next 3 chs, 2 dc in last ch:
50 sts.
note: Loop a short piece of yarn around any stitch to mark last row as right side.
Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as first dc) turn; dc in same dc and in next 3 dc, *skip next 2 dc, dc in next 3 dc, (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch-2 sp, dc in next 3 dc; repeat from * across to last 6 sts, skip next 2 dc, dc in next 3 dc, 2 dc in last st.
Repeat Row 2 until dishcloth measures approximately 13" from beginning ch, ending by working a right side row
Edging: Ch 1, do not turn; sc evenly around entire dishcloth, working 3 sc in each corner; join with slip st to first sc, finish off.
I love these. I remember having a set of crocheted placemats that my grandma made. You are so very talented.
ReplyDeleteMy church has a crochet circle every Sunday. I have carpal tunnel and it hurts me too much to do it, but I really enjoy seeing what everyone else has made!
ReplyDeleteWow- I love it, Kathleen! And when you say "easy", I'm not sure that would apply to me! LOL
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen, I love the crocheted dishcloth and it's my favorite color too. Thank you for the pattern...I'd like to make some for Christmas...hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteI love the crocheted dishcloths. We've worn almost all of ours out. I hadn't seen any made in that pattern. I like that, & the green is pretty too.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, Nancy. Go to Hobby Lobby, to the needlework section & get a pair of those little gloves with no fingers. They are great for carpal tunnel, & arthritis.
I love these.I made a whole bunch of them last Christmas and everybody loved them ! I like that pattern too .
