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 scarab motif is created using basic intarsia or tapestry crochet techniques, so some familiarity with colourwork is recommended.

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

17 (Off White)

08 (Dark Purple)

09 (Royal Blue)

11 (Opal Green)

35 (Vanilla)

15 (Black)

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