Star Kitchen Crocheted Set

I crocheted this cotton star kitchen set as part of a bridal shower gift. The star dishcloth is one of my original free dishcloth patterns found here. I created this dishcloth pattern back in the summer of 2008. I can’t believe it was already 17 years ago!

I added a diagonal potholder to match the dishcloth. I used the double-thick diagonal hotpad free pattern that is a wonderful classic pattern found here. I like to chain 34 stitches to start to crochet a hotpad that is just over 6 inches wide.

Below is a closeup photo of the star dishcloth.

Bunny Round Ripple Lovey

I crocheted another round ripple lovey for the local hospital. This lovey is crocheted by chaining 24 single crochet stitches around a ponytail tie to start. This creates the hole for inserting a store bought animal.
