Crochet Spring Flower Dishcloth

I found this variegated cotton yarn on clearance and thought I'd make something for Easter with it, but um, Easter was kinda early this year... So I went with a spring theme instead:@) My dishcloth is loosely based upon this Flower Dishcloth free pattern from Lily HERE. This is the first time I've done the front post double crochet (FPDC) and that was fun! I love the cables it made to define the petals.
Don't know how I do it folks, but the pattern calls for eight petals, my flower has... seven. 
If you're looking to make something cute for spring/summer this is a nice project that even a beginner
(that can't follow directions very well:@) could whip up within a couple hours.

Have a happy day!

    So cute Lynn, love the colors! Seven is a lucky number, I can only imagine how many petals I would end up with :)

    I use crocheted dish clothes all the time. I just think it is fun to use these pretty cotton doilies. Yours is very springy.

    I laughed with you about the seven petals. That would be what would happen to me. Even with one petal short, I like it!

    Great colors and a pretty pattern!

    I like the FPDC too. I'm using it and the BPDC (back post double crochet) to make a gorgeous baby blanket. Combined, they create a basket weave look. I love it! (I'll post pics about it one day, lol!)

    Very pretty and will brighten up the chore of dishes. I had to laugh when you said your came up with one less petal, the last little project I did seemed to grow and I ended up with several more pedals! xo

    It turned out pretty, no matter how many petals it was suppose to have! My former neighbor from FL made me a crocheted dishcloth & it is STILL my very most favorite. I think of her every time I get it out.

    I must go back & check out your pineapple glaze I saw a few seconds ago. Looks YUMMO!

    This is so cute, Lynn, and I think it looks just fine with seven petals. I love the yellow center and the variegated yarn. You're doing great teaching yourself to crochet. I cut out my first pattern tonight for sewing class and threaded the machine. I'm definitely going to have to practice threading several times before I feel like I've got the hang of it.

    Have a wonderful week!
