Simple Fflowet
A CROCHET DISHCLOTH designed by tracy pokrzywa @2012
Materials
H or I crochet hook (Use the H hook for a tighter, more dense flower or the I hook for a looser, bigger flower.) 2 balls of cotton yarn such as Lily or Peaches And Creme (1 color for center, 1 color for pedals) I was able to make 2 dishcloths from this amount of yarn. Needle to hide ends
