Tipsy Lemon Washcloth


This washcloth (or dishcloth if you’d like to play with the sizes) uses my Tipsy Lemon stitch, which is a variation on the Lemon Peel stitch, using Herringbone Double Crochet instead of regular Double Crochet for the tipsy lean.


It is worked in an even number of stitches (+1 for foundation chain) and can be sized as you wish.


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


Notes:

This pattern is worked with an integrated HDC border.  If you find the HDC stitch is too tall for your tipsy lemon stitch inset, you may choose to work the HDC between the posts for a slightly shorter stitch.


If modifiying the project size, finish Tipsy Lemon Stitch rows on the wrong side row.

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.

Raised Rib Baby Hat

Image
This hat has a lovely texture to the bottom half by using front post half double crochet and half double crochet in alternating rows.  The effect is a raised rib on every stitch and feels lovely to rub your fingers over! You will need Approximately 1 oz of #4 acrylic yarn (50 yards) 5.5 mm crochet hook Scissors Yarn needle Finished size 5.5” diameter x 5.5” height Abbreviations Ch   Chain Sl st   Slip stitch HDC  Half double crochet FP HDC   Front post HDC B3L HDC  Back/third loop HDC Notes Ch 1 at beginning of each round does not count into stitch count.  Always slip stitch into top of first HDC. During raised rib rounds, you will begin with HDC in same stitch as slip stitch in first round, then begin with FP HDC in next round, to ensure you line up a FP HDC over a regular HDC in each round.  In alternate rows, when FP HDC is the first stitch, include ch 1 into st you hook around. Back/third loop HDC involves placing hook through back and 3rd loops simultaneo
