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 ladybird 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)

12 (Red)

15 (Black)

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 bright and classic colour combinations.
