Trinity Stitch Dishcloth Pattern

Okay, I know that's not a very original name, but I can't think of anything more clever at the moment. When (if) I do, I'll change it. Picture to (hopefully) come soon!

Also, you're more than welcome to make these to sell. However, please don't post the pattern anywhere--post a link to this page instead. Thanks!

Trinity Stitch Dishcloth Pattern (c) Shawna Willoughby

Notes: This pattern has not been tested. Also, bear in mind that I'm left-handed, so I might possibly have some things backwards. (I'm primarily thinking of the edging here) If you have any problems, feel free to contact me.

ww cotton yarn, approx. 1 oz.
crochet hook, size H (5.0 mm)

Half-double crochet (HDC): YO, insert hook in next st, pull up a loop, YO and pull through all three loops on hook.

FOs!

These are some of the things I've been making lately. At the time their mug shots were taken, most of them were still eyeless. That is no longer the case, although I have no evidence at this time to prove otherwise. That will be remedied in my next post, since I'll take new pics before they get mailed off. Oh, I should mention that they are (now very late) Christmas presents!


The whole gang:

Last, but not least, one tough chick:


Anyhow, there they are. I need to get some other pics of the other things I made, but I'm currently in the middle of a move, so there just isn't a lot of time for anything else. Keep checking back--I promise there will be more here soon!
