I REALLY abhor doing intarsia. Unfortunately, sometimes it must be done. As in this case where my Firefighter EMT nephew is getting married. What better gift for the bridal shower than a dishcloth from Maria Merlino’s crochet Maltese Cross design?

I have adjusted it for knitting, cross design (the cross ends are more rounded) and size to suit a dish rag. I am publishing this as a free pattern on Ravelry for the convenience of others, but be sure to visit Maria’s page, as well as her blog, to get the original design and support her generosity.
