Hexagon Dishcloth

This is one of my favorite dishcloth patterns. It is both pretty and practical. It is a great scrubbing dishcloth and it can double as a hot pad due to it's extra thickness. Learn-a-Stitch Crochet Dishcloths is out of print but Annie's e-pattern central is bringing some of their favorites back as e-books so as of the writing of this blog you can find it here.

This dishcloth is going out as part of Crochetville's wishlist. I mentioned I'd be making more football's from Month to Month Dishcloths and sure enough this one is headed out in the same package.

I've been getting quite a bit of use out of that book recently.

Rib Hexagon Dishcloth with Back Post Stiches

I mentioned in a previous post that I made the Rib Hexagon dishcloth from Learn-a-Stitch Crochet Dishcloths with the wrong stitches even though I had made it previously the right way.

This is the one I made using front post stitches:

There are advantages to both and I think I might continue to try both ways. The correct method creates a better scrubber, but it does not lay as flat. The front post method still cleans well, lays flatter, and I just like the look of it. Sometimes mistakes create something unique.

Dishcloth with Front Post instead of Back Post Stitches

I needed an easy project to take to the doctor's office last week. I have been working on ami's, but I wanted something where I could follow the pattern based on the shape and not have to worry too much about the number of rows. I had made the Rib Hexagon from Learn-a-Stitch Crochet Dishcloths a few times before so it seemed like the ideal choice. One of the required stitches for the pattern is a back post double crochet. I have no idea where my mind was, but while sitting in the waiting room instead of making bpdc I made front post double crochets. I actually like the look. It gives it a slightly different cleaning quality. I am working one with the bpdc now and I will post the two together to show how the pattern changes, but is still functional.
