That is a lovely dishcloth. I especially like the name!
this si a very nice stitch…I am currently teaching myself to crochet and I have done a granny square and the scallop…I am very pleased with myself
Maybe I will be doing something this complicated looking soon!!!!
Super cute! Now…if I could just learn how to follow a pattern!!
That is LoVeLy. Thanks for posting the pattern too!
What a beautiful pattern! Almost too pretty to use! As far as following patterns goes, it’s not as hard as you think. Find out what the shorthand means and write it out in plain English. Alternatively, go to eHow.com and inquire about How to Read a Crochet Pattern. There are some excellent tutorials there.
This is great. I think I can incorporate this square into my (patchwork quilt) afgan I am crocheting. Thank you so much for all your excellent tutorials. Your directions and photos are so perfect I can’t go wrong. Not wanting all granny squares but a good variety of different squares and you are a Godsend for info.Best Wishes
This is really pretty. Too pretty for a dishcloth, I think. I especially like the name, as well.
Finally found a pattern that I will try right away..so pretty,,thank you..
Just started this pattern ..it is turning out so well ..just wanted you to know..and thank you again
What size hook do you use? Please let me know soon.
I’ve been making washcloths to sell on Etsy and on consignment, and this will be another lovely pattern for me to use! Thanks for posting it.
I would like to know what size hook you used. If you could let me know soon that would be great. Thank you.
What yarn did you use and size of the hook? Thanks!
I almost always use an H. Sorry not soon!

I started crocheting this today out of Red Heart worsted medium 4 acrylic in Dark Orchid, using a J hook. Can you guess what it’s going to be? Definitely not a dishcloth… But the pattern works nicely to fit my new purple netbook into! I think the next step will be lining it so I can put it into my purse without getting yucky crumbs in my laptop. Following that will be some homemade buttons. The blueberry buttons have inspired me to use a fallen branch in a new way. I’m so glad my friend sent me a link to your site… my creative juices are flowing freely again!
At the very end, when you Dc around, did you also Dc in your beginning/foundation row?
Thanks!
Can you tell me what the finished size is? I’m making prizes for a bridal shower, and would like all the dishcloths to be about the same size. If I need to make it bigger (10 or 11 inches), can you tell me what the math is for the number of stitches to increase the base chain? Thanks!
Hi, there! Love your site.
I’m so sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, I’m a newbie.
In the last instruction for the second row ” dc in 3rd cn of turning ch”, is “cn” another abbreviation for something or did you mean “ch”.
Thanks
What size crochet hook. Also what ply for the yarn. thanks, found some great patterns
