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.
Below is the free version of the Crossroads Dishcloth pattern without the photo tutorial. You can also find the Crossroads Dishcloth pattern with my link stitch photo tutorial included in the paid pdf in my Ravelry store.
