A Pattern: Crochet Dogwood Dishcloth

Dogwood Blossom Dishcloth

Materials: Worsted weight cotton, about 1 oz. ombre and less than 1/2 oz. in a coordinating solid color, for flower panels (here, I used Daisy Ombre Peaches 'n Creme and solid yellow Sugar 'n Cream) This would look great in blue ombre and solid blue.

Size G crochet hook

Chain 36, sc stitch in second chain from hook and each chain across--35 sc stitches.

Rows 1-6: SC across

Change color to solid yarn, chain 3, turn

Dogwood Panel (rows 7-10)

Row 7: Work 4 dc (with turning chain, makes 5 dc), *chain 4, skip next 2 stitches, stitch in next 9 stitches* two times, ending with chain 4, skip 2 stitches, dc in last 5 stitches, chain 3, turn.

Row 8: dc in first two stitches (making 3 dc), *chain 3, stitch in 4-ch space, chain 3, skip two stitches, dc in next 5* two times, chain 3, stitch in 4-ch space, chain 3, skip two stitches, dc in last three spaces, chain 3, turn.
