Crochet Puff stitch dish cloth

 

Crochet Fall colored puff stitch dish cloth. 

Okay, so I went cotton yarn crazy about a year ago. I thought I am going to make all of these hot pads, and coasters. Oh the things I can make, the sets etc. I am going to set up a booth at the Farmers Market and make some money off my hobby! Well that never happened. None of it. I have all this cotton yarn sitting here taking up space, so I thought I better start using it up. I started a market bag with one skein and just when I was about 1/2 way through I ran out of the skein, so I will have to go shopping for more to finish that. I decided to use the larger spool of the above color and make something for the Autumn season. It will be here soon don't you know! I made this Puff stitch dish cloth / hot pad. I never use them as dish cloths I always toss them on the counter when I have a hot pan or don't want crumbs on the bottom of a dish from the counter. I love this puff stitch pattern. I had accidentally placed a strawberry dishcloth I had made in the Spring I believe it was, and they looked so good together, so now I am thinking maybe this is not for Fall season it could be for Spring too! :) 

I would show you the project laying flat but it needs to be squared up. I don't know how people can crochet so perfectly straight and square, not this girl, my tension is too tight I think, maybe that is why I try to stay away from straight edged projects. :) The great thing about yarn is to square them up you can lay your afghan while damp on your mattress and pin it out square and allow to dry. 

 I have this set for sale in my Etsy shop at

Crochet Baby Yoda

 

My first attempt at making a Baby Yoda. I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn in the color Sage, and the robe was made using Caron Simply soft in the color Mushroom. I used plastic eyes and added some lime green above the eyes to form eye lids. This was so fun to make. I realize he looks more like a troll than a Yoda. I think this pattern should have been done with a yarn in weight 3 or a baby sport weight. I may remake when I have proper yarn colors, but so many people are into Baby Yoda right now and have requested for me to attempt to make one, so I took on the challenge with the yarn in my stash.

Crochet Turtle

 

Crochet Teal & purple Turtle

I made this turtle as an extra little gift to go with the mermaid tail afghan from the previous post using the yarn that was left over. If you like any of my projects and are wondering if I would ever make anything to sell to you, the answer is yes. A lot of the items I have made thus far, I still have stashed away in a closet. I would be more than happy to sale my items.
