Both US and UK crochet terminology throughout

The dishcloth is worked in modified single crochet, alternating front and back loops to create a lovely ridged texture. The pansy motif is made 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)
• 08 (Dark Purple)
• 05 (Lilac)
• 14 (Dandelion)
• 35 (Vanilla)
• 39 (Wasabi)
• 43 (Forest Green)

The pattern works beautifully with any cotton yarn or similar fibre and is a great way to use up small amounts of yarn in floral, garden-inspired colours.
