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 toadstool 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:

o 17 (Off White)
o 12 (Red)
o 67 (Wheat)
o 68 (Almond)
o 25 (Moss Green)

The pattern works well with any cotton yarn, making it a great project for using up yarn leftovers in your favourite woodland shades.
