Mitered Blossom Dishcloth | Crochet Pattern Listed!

The Mitered Dishcloth Crochet Pattern is now listed!

and can be found at the
Apple Blossom Dreamz

Etsy shop by clicking here.

I love these dishcloths for holiday gift giving.

These Mitered Blossom Dishcloths are so fun to make, keep and to gift. 

The pattern includes dozens upon dozens of step-by-step photos, as well as a shortened version 
AND four video links for extra added assistance. 

Once you make a few for yourself you will likely find your friends and family requesting them. 

The really great thing about using these as a dishcloth is that, after use,
 simply rinse and wring them thoroughly
 then hang them from a hook by the sink or from the faucet
 with that convenient handle; 

a drying technique keeps them smelling fresh and resisting germs.

These were crocheted in Scheepjes Catona yarn.

This yarn keeps its color longer than any other yarn I have used for dishcloths in the past.

You can find a yarn pack for these at Wool Warehouse by clicking here.

Additionally, a Scheepjes Colour Pack of every Catona color that would yield 

many of these dishcloths is available by clicking here.

These dishcloths have been a real hit among those who have received them as gifts,
 especially with the added thoughtfulness of coordinating the colors with the recipient's kitchen,
 or paired with a bar soap or liquid soap. 

This has been the most fun I've had writing a pattern!

It filled the "Koselig Hekler Hus" with lots of
