This pattern is worked from the corner (started lower right) and as you can see, I had some difficulty with the decreasing and keeping it square.
Any tips on keeping track of where the rows should start/end?
I ripped it out a couple times and really tried to pay attention... that helped a little:@)
Updated: I just had to try this again. This time I used a 'J' hook (used 'I' for the first one) and watched a video to learn to properly decrease... While still not perfect, this one's much better, and it took 1 1/2 hours. I really do like this pattern!
Have a happy day:@)
it is cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty assortment of colors. I can't believe you could do this in 50 minutes. It would take me 50 days :)

Looks cute, Lynn, and I love the summery colors. I will check out the pattern as I love crocheted dishcloths. I don't think I could ever finish in that time frame, though. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever, this would probably take me a week, although I have no idea how to crochet. My aunt used to make these and I loved them! They lasted forever!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I've never worked diagonally like that but it's a really nice pattern. When winter rolls around I'll get my crochet hooks out again :)
ReplyDeleteGlorious colors of summer...and waaay too pretty to use at the sink!
ReplyDeleteI can't help you with directions...I used to crochet years ago but I think I've forgotten everything. I might look for this pretty yarn next visit to WM, just to see if I could do it, though. I LOVE THESE DISHCLOTHS!
I think I told you my FL neighbor made one for me & I use it all the time.
HI Lynn That would brighten up any kitchen.
ReplyDeleteIf you figure it out, please make me one and I'll come pick it up. That would be much quicker than if I tried to crochet one myself. Love the colors. They make me want to have a dreamsicle.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
I really like using crocheted dish cloths - didn't think I would. Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteI would never guess that you are a beginner to crochet, Lynn! Your creations are always so perfectly made. This is pretty and practical too!
ReplyDeleteNow I don't feel so alone. Every time I have done crochet, it has gone all wonky on me too. There must be some trick to making sure that you end where you are supposed to..but I sure don't know what it is. xo
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I like the pattern at an angle. I haven't done very much with increase and decreasing in a pattern. I might try this one though. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors ~ so summery. I haven't worked on the diagonal but I think you are close to making it perfect!
ReplyDeleteI think they look fantastic. I use these old fashioned dish clothes all the time. Don't you like how pretty they looked stacked in the draw?
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Lynn. I'm just learning to crochet too and keeping the rows straight and not losing stitches is the hardest part. Love those little crocheted dish cloths. My friend gave me several for Christmas and I really like them.
ReplyDeleteI love these crocheted dishcloths. I have a friend who gave me a few since I'm clueless with a hook! :)
ReplyDeleteSo quick, colorful and pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove it...my mama used to make these for me...so did my mother in law...I never learned to crochet very well. Love the colors you chose....
ReplyDeleteLove the colors Lynn! I would take me 50 days to do crochet a dishcloth :)
