#139 Ocean Shells Crochet Dishcloth – Maggie Weldon Maggies Crochet

 

Designer Carol Showers wrote: “I started crocheting dishcloths in 1969. I found a pattern in a small thread crochet book. My family and friends enjoyed those until the worsted cotton dishcloth patterns arrived. I make this Aqua Marine pattern in 2 strands of size 10 crochet cotton and a G-hook. Then I switched to doing the hdc in the back loop for a different look. I’m loving this Dishcloth-A-Day Challenge and enjoying all the new patterns.”

Carol – Thank you so much for helping us with the Dishcloth-a-Day Challenge.
