I had a yearning to crochet some cotton dishcloths the last few days. I have a big bag of cotton scraps and the Magnolia Mandala crochet pattern is just perfect for using some of it.
I only crocheted through round 8 as I wanted smaller dishcloths. These can also be used as pretty hotpads too. For these first two, I used a G (4 mm) crochet hook which resulted in a 8.5 inch wide dishcloth.
Here is the second crocheted Mandala scrappy dishcloth in teals.
Here is a granny stitch baby lovey that I crocheted for the local Hospital. This will be given to a child who may be in need of a lovey for comfort while they are in the Hospital.
This lovey is crocheted with a center hole that has a store-bought stuffed animal toy placed in the middle. They are handy as you can pulled out the stuffed animal and the lovey blanket portion can be washed when needed.
The pattern is based upon this video link of the Zee’s lovey pattern.
Using a H ( 5 mm) crochet hook, I chained 36 SC around ponytail hair band with Red Heart raspberry (pink) yarn. Then 3 rows in raspberry in granny stitches as shown in the video. Then 3 rows of white yarn, 3 rows raspberry, 5 rows of white, the 1 row of raspberry. To finish with white yarn, 1 row of white grannies, the 1 row on Scs with 2 SC in corners.
Here is a closeup photo showing the Birdie Lovey.
