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.

The star dishcloth pattern is a great way to use scraps of leftover cotton to crochet a cute dishcloth. Just remember to pull on the points to flatten it out so it lays flat. A little blocking to the center also makes for a flat completed dishcloth.
