It’s a ZOMBIE POST! From my old dead blog, reproduced here, is the first pattern that made me a Ravelry designer. It’s a little sketchy, as my first written pattern, but should be easy peasy. I hope to write down more of my designs, and add them to this blog in time!
These are great because they use very little yarn, and they get both kid’s faces and kitchen counters super clean. We’ve been paper towel free for several years now, and I love using something soft and fun so much better!

I would like to try this, the pattern seems pretty straight forward, I only know a few crochet stitches and none of the names of them! Is there a good online reference for how to individual stitches and their names?
Hi Elizabeth! There are lots of crochet stitch dictionaries out there on the web, and lots of videos on youtube. Here’s one site to get you started: http://crochet.about.com/od/crochetstitches/u/Crochet_Stitch_Instructions.htm
