While travelling, I've been working on a few small projects that are easy to transport.
This one is my good old standby: the mitered dishcloth.
The pattern can be found in my Etsy shop by clicking here.
For this particular variation, I worked in both loops with a fingering cotton yarn, a 3.5 mm hook, and extra rows due to yarn weight.

Then a picot edge was added.
It's pretty like this, but if you'd like a little extra pizzazz from the garden, a rose is a nice touch.
Start with the rose pattern by clicking here.
Then add leaves like this:
On the back, crochet and connect eight 3ch loops even with the petals with a SLST.
In each loop (SC, HDC, DC, 2ch picot, DC, HDC, SC)
SLST to first leaf, leaving ends for attaching to the dishcloth.
Finish by sewing onto the dishcloth with the ends:
These make the best gifts!
They can be paired up with a pretty and/or coordinating bottle of dishwashing soap or a dozen roses. 😉
The handle makes it easy to hang for drying.
I'm looking forward to returning home at the end of the month and crocheting from dawn til dusk!
Wishing you all a day of dawn til dusk crocheting!
Warmly,

Very pretty, Astri. I love these done in double thickness to get things out of the oven!
ReplyDeleteYes I still make those dishcloths from your wonderful pattern from years ago Astri xoxo
ReplyDeleteHello Astri,
ReplyDeleteI still have the two of mine and use them regularly. So I think of you all the time!!! There are hanging in my kitchen ;-)
It's really beautiful, Astri, and a perfect project to make while travelling. In addition, I think it's a great idea for personal gifs as well. So this goes to my "To Do List". Have a lovely day! 💕 🍃🌸🍃
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThat is much too pretty for washing dishes! ;) Hope you're both doing well.
