Both US and UK crochet terminology throughout

The dishcloth is worked in modified single crochet, alternating front and back loops to create a soft, ridged texture. The Luna moth motif is created using basic intarsia or tapestry crochet techniques, so some familiarity with colour work is recommended.

A link to a video tutorial showing the techniques used is also available.

The sample was made using Drops Paris 100% Cotton in the following shades:

17 (Off White) or 28 (Navy Blue) for the background

21 (Light Mint Green)

35 (Vanilla)

60 (Mauve)

16 (White)

The pattern works well with any aran/worsted weight cotton yarn, making it a great project for using up leftovers in your favourite night-sky and nature-inspired shades.
