The weekly dose of the Maggie Weldon Dishcloth Challenge at www.bestfreecrochet.com
These five patterns were great - both to do and to use! I am particularly fond of NONclutter.... so creating pretty USEFUL items brings me joy.
#11 in the upper left hand corner is called the Ruffled Granny Crochet Dishcloth. It is one of my favorites but then I'm a fan of granny squares. It is a basic granny square done in two different cotton yarns, a variegated (aqua, lime, purple & white) with a coordinating purple. The outer round is ruffled as an edging.
#12 right next to it in the center, called Circles and Shells Crochet Dishcloth, is done in a variegated yellow & white with a white scalloped edging. It is done in the double crochet stitch.
#13 in the upper right hand corner gave me a chance to use some small scraps. The name of it is Sea Wave Crochet Dishcloth, I think because they used blue, green & white. I had some small scrap balls of a variegated pink, rose, lavender & white, and scrap balls of pale pink and medium purple. So I used what I had on hand. This one starts in one corner and builds outward. I used a little bit of lavender for the edging.
# 14 in the lower left corner is called Singly Pink Dishcloth. Oops.... I used a variegated green instead because it's March :-) So mine is Singly Green :-) Anyway it is a single crochet done in the back loops to form a ridge. This makes it fairly dense and a great cleaning cloth.
And,lastly, #15 is called Simple Shells Crochet Dishcloth. I got with the 'sea wave' program with this one, using a crochet cotton that merged 2 greens and 2 blues :-) It is done in a double crochet shell pattern that was quick and fun to do.
I found all of these patterns to be easy to do. The instructions for all the patterns I have encountered on this challenge are exceptionally clear.
Let me know if you do any of them!
