The United States celebrates Memorial Day on the last Monday of May each year. It is a day to honor U.S. soldiers who die while in military service. We are the beneficiaries of those who have died to protect our country. I would like to thank the military and their families for all the sacrafices and stress that they go through on our behalf.

It would be nice if I had some other choice to print this pattern than your pdf. It prints so small that I am having a hard time reading the directions.
I love this pattern but I would also love the Pattern to the dishcloth at the top right hand corner. The pink heart in the middle of the white circle. Thanks
It’s in our free patterns for dishcloths, look in the archives to your right. It went out sometime in Jan or Feb of this year. Thanks
Marilyn, you could highlight the pattern on the web page, then copy it and past it to a word processing program. Then, you could change the font to anything you wanted to. Sometimes, I use my computer to crochet from as it is handy, and I can enlarge to any size that way, too.
HTH!
