I am thrilled to be announcing the release of the Crossroads Dishcloth pattern! It has been in the works for a few months now but life happens and there were several pieces to the pattern writing puzzle to workout before I had it ready for testing and publishing.
The Crossroads Dishcloth is an advanced beginner crochet pattern and a quick project, making it great for gifting to friends and family. The pattern features the link stitch which is like the Tunisian simple stitch without the need for a special Tunisian crochet hook. I began teaching myself Tunisian crochet last year which is one reason why I love the link stitch so much. If you are not familiar with this stitch, you may find my Link Stitch Tutorial on my blog helpful as you crochet your dishcloth.
