Dishcloth and Plant Holder Pattern

November 24, 2016 by ·

Who says dishcloths have to be square? This month’s dishie pattern is a beautiful pentagonal cloth made from FibraNatura Good Earth distributed by Universal Yarns. Though I stopped with an 8″ dishcloth, it could be made in any size. It’s the perfect dishcloth for washing and scrubbing as well as gift giving.

This lovely dishcloth would also be great as a doily or as a hot pad.

I fell in love with this design so much, I decided to turn it into a plant holder! The plant holder starts with a pentagonal base, with the side supports crocheted around that. Because of the design, it can hold various sized pots a little smaller or larger than 1.46 quarts.

Plants make a house so homey. Plant some ivy or perhaps some spices. Turn your kitchen into a living space!

Finished Measurements:

  • Dishcloth: 8″
  • Plant Holder: 26 x 4 1/2″, holds a 1.46 qt pot

Bobbles Dishcloth and Trivet

June 27, 2016 by ·

Dishcloth+ Series: June’s Bobbles Dishcloth and Crochet Trivet / Hot Pad

Bobbles Crochet Dishcloth and Trivet Set

When things get too hot to handle, reach for your crocheted trivet / hot pad!

Bobbles are fabulous stitches for adding big round nubs of texture to your crochet fabric. On the dishcloth they act as extra scrubbing features. On a trivet or hot pad, they add extra bulk to separate hot pots and pans from your dining room table.

View of both sides of the trivet

The dishie was designed with fewer bobbles so that it can still fit inside cups and glasses.

The trivet was designed with many bobbles to create a thicker fabric. Many crocheted hot pads are simply two layers of crochet sewn together. Here we’ve created one with Insul-Bright Batting so that it will provide a heat blocker between your hot pots and pans and your hand or dining room table. Add a fun cotton fabric backing to coordinate with your kitchen.

The dishcloth and trivet are crocheted in Fibra Natura Good Earth distributed by Universal Yarn. This cotton linen blend is perfect for going from sink to washing machine and back again.

The crochet market bag was designed to be more solid at the base and lacy in the middle to both catch little items that work their way to the bottom of the bag and bulky items that need to stretch.

Crochet Towel Topper and Dishcloth Set

April 17, 2016 by ·

Dishcloth+ Series: April’s Dress Towel Topper and Dishcloth Crochet Pattern

Crochet Dishcloth and Towel Topper-Pattern

Dress up your kitchen with this beautiful crocheted dress towel topper and coordinating dishcloth. This pattern was created out of love and necessity. I love to crochet, and I hate picking my dishtowels up off the floor. With two toddlers in the home, picking the towel up from the floor was happening way too frequently! My solution, crochet a beautiful accessory. Not only would it be lovely to look at, I wouldn’t have to pick the towel up off the floor every time I wanted to dry my hands.

The dishcloth and towel topper work up quickly with a lovely woven stitch (sometimes called the linen stitch). Less dense than a straight single crochet, the woven stitch is a little more flexible and has more drape. The fancy scalloped edge gives it a dash of elegance.

Towel Topper Dressy Design

Crochet Towel Topper and Dishie

The towel topper does require a bit of hand sewing as the crocheted portion is crocheted on two halves of the towel. The back half is placed over an oven handle or other handle and tucked into the waistband securing it in place. This design requires a fair amount of tugging by little hands to pull it down, making it a dream. (It will need to be buttoned in place for more persistent tuggers like my children!)

Pictured, the dishcloth and kitchen towel are crocheted in Fibra Natura Good Earth distributed by Universal Yarn. This cotton linen blend is perfect for going from sink to washing machine and back again.
