Beginners Festive Discloth
The Beginners Festive Dishcloth was crocheted with Sugar ‘n Cream cotton yarn in the Holiday Stripes color - a variegated white, red and green yarn. This yarn is great for creating the stripes in this dishcloth. Of course, you can make the dishcloth in any solid or other variegated yarn. The stitch for the Beginners Festive Dishcloth is the Even Moss Stitch. This is an easy stitch to crochet and is great for beginners to learn a new crochet stitch.

St. Patrick's Day Dishcloth/Trivet/Mug Rug
You'll have the Luck of the Irish with this RAINBOW cotton dishcloth which is surrounded by 17 SHAMROCKS! Think it's too pretty to be used as a dishcloth? Use it as a trivet or a "mug rug", which gives you enough room for your mug and spoon and even a small snack! You could even make a few for washcloths for the kiddos to use in the bathtub.
Eye of the Emerald Mandala
This mandala was created with the spirit of the Irish, but would look great in lots of colors. Picot stitches add texture as an art piece but are easy to block flat for use on the table. This design is large for a doily at 24" (61 cm), but the open lace stitches work up quickly in worsted weight. Even at that size, it only uses 5 oz of acrylic yarn! Pattern requires a small amount of blocking to shape the lace, but no pinning required - Just shape and leave flat to dry.
