Scrub Me (Crochet) Pattern

Here is my latest pattern available purchase.  Each project only takes about 45 minutes to work up and uses very little yarn. I managed to make three cloths out of one ball of Peaches & Creme cotton.



This cloth combines three common crochet stitches to create a unique pattern. The stitch looks like the crescent moon. It is very easy to produce and uses very little yarn. When the border is added, the edges curl up slightly giving the cloth an extra special flair.

Snow White Beware (Crochet) - PATTERN

In a sphere, the geometric surfaces curve in to itself creating the solid outside surface. A pseudo-sphere is a sphere’s opposite, the surfaces curve outwards and increase exponentially. This can be replicated with hyperbolic crochet, as shown here.
This PDF pattern file contains 4 pages of instructions with pictures, and a photo-tutorial for extra help if needed.
Snow White, Beware!! -- This apple looks good enough to eat!

Cornrow Dishcloth (Knit) PATTERN

Cornrow Dishcloth



The Cornrow Dishcloth pattern is very easy and is useful for fine tuning knitting and purling skills. It can be completed using any color yarn and looks great in both solid and ombre.


This is my first pattern. After some careful thought, my husband and I came up with the name “Cornrow Dishcloth”. The unique stitching in this cloth creates a look mimicking cornrows. During our honeymoon trip to Jamaica I got cornrows, thusly spurring the idea for this unique cloth.
The cloth has a garter stitch border to help keep it from curling with a nice scrunched center to really scrub your dishes. It can be made in any size by manipulating the number of stitches in the “Cast On” row.
I do not mind if you make this pattern and sell it, but PLEASE do not mass produce your product. Also please do not sell this pattern or re-produce to post on other media.
