This pattern works up real nice and quick-like. So make a bunch — they look great arranged in groups on your holiday table. Or, stitch a bunch of these together to make a table runner.

Here are the terms you need to know: skip (sk), stitch (st), space (spc), chain (ch), slip stitch (sl st), single crochet (sc), half-double crochet (hdc), double crochet (dc), treble (tr), and picot.

    What would it take to make this a dishcloth? Other than 100% cotton yarn?

      Hi, Liz,
      Technically. the cotton yarn will make it a dishcloth. However, it’s pretty lacy. If I were you, I’d choose a less open-work motif for a dishcloth. The flowering mum trivet in my patterns and tutorials page might be a slightly better option. Or, if you want a smaller scrubbie type cloth, any of the other motifs.

      OR. If there is something specific you’re looking for, let me know and I can see what I can come up with :)

    what do i do when it says picot in the pattern? Thx ( :

      A picot is a term for a little “bump.” In this case, make the dc the pattern calls for, chain 3, then slip stitch in the top of the dc. This will make that little bump. Let me know if this makes sense!
