Looking for your go to dishcloth crochet pattern that is fun to make and perfect for gift giving (not to mention great for dish washing?) Look no further. Meet the Seed Stitch Dish Cloth. Worked corner to corner with sc rows of edging, it is reminiscent of the popular knit dishcloth. I see myself making many of these to gift to others. It is such a fun project to crochet and they make up really quickly. It is easy to memorize the “increase” portion and then the “decrease” portion of the pattern. I hope you enjoy it as well.

Whether you wear it around your neck or around your shoulders, the Tela crochet triangle shawl will be a staple accessory for cooler weather. You'll love the simple construction and easy stitches paired with modern stripes. There are really only two stitches you need to have mastered before you take on this shawl: chains and half double crochets. That's it as far as stitches. There are, however, some techniques you should be familiar with like working in chain spaces and working multiple stitches in the same spaces.

If you've recently found yourself scouring through blankets and crochet patterns on the internet, stop. The search is over. This Heart Graphgan crochet baby blanket is a dream.

While this baby blanket is unique, baby blanket patterns can also have similarities. Their shape and baby blanket size; even the color palette in some cases.

I've had Valentine's on my brain lately. One of the things I wanted to make was a heart washcloth (could also be used as an afghan square). Went to Hobby Lobby, and found the perfect colors for it! As a washcloth, C2C can sometimes become saggy because of the spaces in the boxes, and by spaces, I really just mean like a slit from the beginning chain that all the stitches are worked onto. I use my washcloths either for decorative purposes, or just to dry things up - not to wash anything with because of this. To make a better washcloth, go down a hook size for tighter stitches and/or use half double crochets in place of double crochets.
