Lemons on the Line Washcloth

I’m blaming my dish and washcloth making friends for encouraging me, and now here’s another offering using the Tipsy Lemon stitch.  Thanks to Dianna for suggesting the name!


This simple pattern is worked in an even number of stitches, in 6 row panels, so you can resize it to your liking.


You will need:

Approximately 1 ½  oz of worsted weight cotton (50 yds)

5.0 mm crochet hook

Yarn needle

Scissors


Finished size:

9.5 x 9.5”


Abbreviations:

Ch Chain

St Stitch

SC Single crochet

HBDC Herringbone double crochet

HDC Half double crochet

BLO Back loop only


Notes:

This pattern is worked in a repeating panel.  If you alter the sizes, you may want to consider adding extra row(s) of SC to top and bottom to square up the cloth.

    I'm assuming that the herringbone double crochet is explained in the blog link?

Cheshire Cat Pocket Wrap

Image
     The name for this pocket wrap comes at the suggestion of Heather, a crafting friend, who said the colours reminded her of the Cheshire Cat.  As for the design, I love making scarves lengthwise and exploring the different texture options that result.  But I always struggle with getting pockets to sit right, so I thought, why not try to build the pockets into the design as much as possible?  That cut down my stitching and it seems to make the pockets sit nicely as well. You will need Approximately 23 oz of #6 super chunky yarn (700 yds).  I used about 2 ⅓ of the Caron Chunky Cakes (Elderberry Jelly). 8 mm crochet hook Yarn needle Stitch markers Scissors Finished size Approximately 15×66". Gauge  Not critical for this project.  Adjust foundation chain in 2+1 pattern as needed for desired size.
