Awesome video tutorial!!
Thank you!!
I love to make these. : )
I have ready access to Peaches & Creme cotton yarn. Is this the same as the yarn you used? Also, what is the US equivalent for the hook? Looking at the video, seems like the hook may be larger and the yarn lighter. Can you help please???

@[100002389620738:2048:Claudia Monsma], here’s a new one for you
How did you know I would look at that!
This pattern is impossible to make with US cotton yarn. DK light worsted cotton yarn is not available anywhere. The stores the crafter uses are in England!!
Where did you find the yarn?? I can’t find it anywhere
i really prefer written directions for crochet!
I got it at Joann Fabrics. Its Bernat and called cottonish
I made one and love it.
I have only found 2 here in the states. Patons Grace and Bernat cottonish. They are both Dk weight
Thank you so much. I’ll try it. I used peaches and Cream and it was awful. Took me 2 weeks.

@[1056250432:2048:Heather Day Gonzales]!!! Now I need a trip to get yarn!!
Every dish towel I have made get a funky mildew smell no matter what I do. Also they get stained badly. For me, it is just not worth the time to make my own only to have them go in the rag pile.
made one and I love it! thinking about making it a bit bigger to use A’s a counter towel for dishes 🙂
Linda, you should try this.
Love this crocheted dish cloths.
Nice
Julie Ogan Kaltenbach…these are nice!
Thanks for the video!!
I have used premier cotton blend worsted 2. Works up great and quick, its just a pain to do the tartan stitch finishing. Very time consuming but love the pattern
All I got was a link to Publisher’s Clearing House.
Very pretty. I would hate to use them and stain them up.
I like these Michelle Pecanic-Lee
Ruth Owens
Want to make one
LeAnne Slover
I’ve made a dozen of these and I love them. But it takes all day just to make one with sewing in the ends. I give them away as gifts
Jacqui Parry
Aunt Ruth made me some of these! They are very good scrubbers and last a long time!!
Thank you.
Look exactly like some I’ve bought t the atore!!
Thank you for sharing.
I cannot get anything from this site to load, not even the main page but you do feature wonderful looking projects.
Would I be able to print the pattern? Thank you.
pretty

I have made just one and like it very much ! It is fun to make.
Thanks for sharing. These are cute and look pretty easy.
Can’t wait to make them, the colors are so perfect.
Rachel Hannah Di Sipio you should make this
Great looking dish clothes
Angela Oney
Neat
Ya and handy
Yea
This patter is fairly easy, except for the constant changing of colors. The slip stitch across that makes the pattern is time-consuming, also. All that being said, this is not a speedy project, but the end result is lovely.
Oooh. Nice
Too bad it never led me to the pattern
Samantha Kathleen
Janet G. Keller, I really want this printed pattern .

I’ve made about a dozen of these. Although they look beautiful it takes many hours to complete one.
Yes, they do take quite a bit more time to make these, but I really like the look. I’ll just make this once in a while and stick to a more basic pattern most of the time.
Christina Crider……go for it !
Pretty cloth.
I’ve made this one already enjoyed the process
I made this and love it so meny colors make great gifts to
