Made in Lily Sugar'n Cream, But Strong Enough for Any Weight
Made in Lily Sugar'n Cream, as seen here, it's a great dishcloth, washcloth, or lightweight trivet for your table. Switch to Scrubby if you prefer that yarn, and you'll have a super cute dishwashing set! Or what about working your Diamond Shaped Cloth and pals in thread or fingering weight yarn for a gorgeous set of trivets - or strung on a garland? Grab your biggest, fattest yarn, and you'll have wall decor for casino night!
Groovy Game Night Grannies
The Diamond Shaped Cloth is a simple granny stitch piece - surely, the easiest of the set. I designed the Heart Shaped Cloth first, and that really set the size I tried to stick with for all of them. Even if you're newer to crochet, this pattern offers an easy-to-follow pattern, and step-by-step video tutorials to guide you will be added. Try it in worsted weight, and then have fun with it!
Over the past few years, card games with friends have become my favorite way to spend a Saturday night. Here's hoping this free crochet pattern brings you the same smiles! Let's start stitching!
