Star Dishcloths

NOTE: This pattern is based off of a blanket pattern originally released for free by Bernat. You can find the blanket pattern here. I did, however, convert it into a dishcloth. 

I've made the blanket version before and liked the result. However, I was in need of dishcloths, and, after consideration, got out my cotton yarn and began to follow the pattern, but stopping when it became the size I preferred.

I used Sugar 'n Cream cotton yarn with a size H crochet hook. Each dishcloth took me forty-five minutes to an hour to complete.

Bad photos, sorry; they were taken almost a year ago with a phone

Hello!

When my older brother sees me crocheting or knitting, he says I'm 'making knots again.' Thus, Needlework Knots. I'm a younger artist who draws more than anything else, but two of my favorite pastimes are knitting and crocheting. I also embroider on occasion and would like to learn tatting.

This blog will primarily be to share my projects in pictures and hopefully patterns that I create. I have a few going at the moment, and just finished this evening a pair of slippers which I will post about at a later time, once I have pictures. As I live in West Africa, I don't have easy access to yarn and other supplies, so I apologize in advance for the lack of color and possibly posts in the future.

Cheers!
