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.

I figured it was time to break out some oldie but goodie dishcloth patterns of mine. So here is a 4-pointed cotton dishcloth crocheted using my pointed granny dishcloth pattern.

Next is a star dishcloth that I crocheted with white cotton along with the Poppy colored cotton that was leftover from the above project. I didn’t have enough yarn to do the complete dishcloth with the Poppy so I added white for the center and outer rounds. Here is the link to the free star dishcloth pattern.

Below are both dishcloths shown together.
