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
