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.
