I crocheted these round ripple dishcloths using up some scraps of cotton I had. The flowered center uses 7.5 yards of cotton so it is a great way to use up those bits of cotton yarn. The two dishcloths were crocheted using one 2 ounce ball of Sugar n’ Cream ombres yarn in pink lilacs colorway.
The crochet pattern used is Julle’s blue ribbon round ripple dishcloth. I crocheted the dishcloths using the smaller option cloth from the pattern. Using the smaller option, my dishcloths are 9.5 inches wide using a G (4.25 mm) crochet hook.
Total yardage for the dishcloth including trim is
This is a new teddy bear pattern that I have been working on. I wanted to create a pattern that was crocheted all in the round that was simple and quick with less seams and fewer joins. After several test bears and tweaks to the crochet pattern, I present In the Round Teddy Bear!
Please enjoy the free crochet pattern and a big thanks to TeaLover (Jan) from Ravelry who was so kind and patient with me as I developed this pattern. She was extremely helpful with her knowledge and crochet skills helping me perfect this pattern. It is our hope that this pattern will comfort and bless each child who receives a bear made from the pattern.
In the Round Teddy Bear pattern
8.5 inch tall bear with Red Heart Super Saver (RHSS) yarn
G (4 mm) hook
Pattern uses less than 2 ounces of total yarn (RHSS = 1.7 ozs) and is written in US crochet terms.
Legs:
Rnd 1: Chain 8, turn and SC down chain, work 2 SC in end, SC around the corner working on the other side of the chain, work 2 SC in the last stitch. (16 SC sts)
Do not join. This pattern is worked in the round without chaining, joining or turning unless otherwise directed. Place a stitch marker to mark beginning of round if desired.
Rnd 2-10: SC in each stitch. (16 SC) Leave a tail to join legs at crotch. Make 2 legs, on the 2nd leg don’t FO yarn.
Position the two legs next to each other, so that the yarn tail of the first leg is between the two legs and the working yarn of the 2nd leg is to the side.
Use the tail of the first leg to join the 2 legs together at front center at crotch. Use a yarn needle to stitch 2-3 joining stitches of the two legs together at center. Don’t stitch too tightly, as you need to work into these on the next round. (see photo below)
