I pulled out several balls of cotton and crocheted some Spring dishcloths. First up is My Star Dishcloth Pattern that I published all the way back in 2008.

The pattern is free and is an excellent pattern for using up bits of leftover cotton. Plus it makes a cute dishcloth!

Next is a pattern that is available through Ravelry by Julee Fort. The Blue Ribbon Round Ripple Dishcloth is also a free pattern.

I also have crocheted this using a flat center. The flat center is a great way to crochet the pattern if you want to use it as a hotpad and not have a raised center. Here are my crochet directions for the flat center:
Instead of the popcorn stitches on row 2, Ch 3, DC in same stitch, *Ch 2, 2 DC in next st*. Repeat between * around for 8 ch-2 spaces. Join and continue with the original pattern as written.

Above is my flat center round ripple dishcloth. This is a wonderful pattern and one that I have used many times over the years.
