Hermosa!!! De puntos me gusta gracias por compartir
Love this pattern
I made two blankets with this stitch back in 1980! Loved it and it was so easy!
Really pretty
Where’s the pattern? Never could find it
Click on the link just above the picture. Then click on “Alwine’s Dishcloth”. It should take you to Ravelry, where you can download the PDF and print it.
Click on “alwine’s dishcloth”
There is also a video. I like to use those when a pattern includes a stitch I haven’t used before.
