#126 Pink Triple Posts Crochet Dishcloth – Maggie Weldon Maggies Crochet

Designer Carole Sisson wrote: “I am 78 yrs old and I’ve never written a pattern before, in fact it took me longer to write it out than it did to crochet it.  I got hooked on crochet and knitting when I was only 16 and worked the notions counter at our 5 & 10c store.  Seeing all my customers grabbing up yarn off my counter made me curious, but it wasn’t until I married at 17 that I acted on it.  I bought yarn, a hook and a “How To” book. I crochet for friends and charity. I love baby outfits, afghans, really anything. I have one spare bedroom filled with tubs of yarn and stacked to the ceiling.  I like a challenge so I decided to try the dishcloths. I am having a ball and I never get bored. Thank you Maggie.”
Thank you Carole.  I am so excited that you did your first design for the Dishcloth-a-Day Challenge.  It is lovely!

    I like the ability to edit what I print. With the new print setup that is not available…most of the time when it is a 2 page print I can edit out some of the wording and get it to be a 1 page print out. Why was it changed?

    Hi Maggie,
    I love all the patterns and have downloaded so many. My question, in the past I was able to enlarge the print for the dishcloths. Now it’s not the same. What can I do to make it larger ? I do want to say think you for so many wonderful pattern !!!! I love them all !!!

    I’m with Carol on this one. I too used to take the patterns and cut down some of the words and get things to fit on one page by copying and pasting the patterns into a Word document and adjusting my margins but now I can’t copy and paste any more.
