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.

Irish Blessings Crochet Doily
The Irish Blessings Crochet Doily combines a beautiful Irish Rose with rounds of lucky shamrocks and traditional Irish lace and picots. This is a fabulous crochet doily pattern that you can bring out every year around St. Patrick's day or simply leave it out year round as it's just that stunning. Doilies are typically used to help hold drinks, but this crochet pattern is just too beautiful for that. It would make a great gift for a friend or even a nice wedding gift that can be passed down from generation to generation.
Irish Touch Motif
Irish crochet is a form of vintage crochet lace with patterns dating back to the earliest days of the craft. Irish crochet roses as the eyes and surrounded by Popcorn stitch giving a cluster of leaves. This Irish Touch Motif is an free crochet pattern. This pretty motif is worked in two colors. It is crocheted in the round starting in the center with the flower and working outward from there. This is an easy crochet project that works up quickly. The size of this Irish Touch Motif is 10.0”
Oversized Farm House Washcloths
These oversized "Farm House Washcloths" work up very easily and there's even a pattern and a full video tutorial to help you along! Handmade washcloths make a thoughtful and long lasting gift for housewarming parties, showers or as a thank you gift. Grab some worsted weight cotton yarn, your Size H crochet hook and a bit of time and you can make these gorgeous kitchen accessories. Single crochet and chain stitches make up most of the pattern so it's a breeze!
Crunch Stitch Washcloths
Use this pattern for the Crunch Stitch Washcloths to learn a new stitch and create something useful for your home at the same time. These washcloths are beginner-friendly, and you have a choice to make them either in one color or using two colors. My favorite one is the pink and blue version because you can use leftover scrap yarn from bigger projects. The solid bumpy texture of the crunch stitch is perfect for these washcloths. They make beautiful gift sets paired with a handmade soap or body wash.
Halfway Slippy Mug Rug
The halfway slippy mug rug uses half double crochet and slip stitch to create a subtly textured design. Mug rugs can be a fun alternative to standard coasters, especially in the summer! This pattern is free online at my website, and it includes a video tutorial to walk you through the pattern. It is also available as a PDF purchase, which includes this design and two other mug rug designs (each of which are also available online for free with video tutorials).
