This week I decided to make another dishcloth because I haven’t mastered reading patterns or even making one that looks normal. I have had a lot of ups and downs during my journey on how to crochet. I kinda got bored of making dishcloths but I didn’t want to do anything that might be too hard to make. When looking at different patterns I stumbled across a dishcloth that was round and thought it would be different from the square clothes I have been crocheting.
What I discovered that was different about going from square shape to a circle is that you’re not going row to row. You start out different in a circle pattern, you start with something that’s called a magic circle. It was honestly quite difficult starting double stitches into the magic circle but after the twelve double stitches the pattern was easy to follow and I actually found it easier to create a round dishcloth than the square ones I have been doing.

The site I used was Round Crochet Dishcloth Pattern. I liked this site and I found the pattern easy to read. I do wish there were more pictures though. The site had a lot of ads and almost no pictures of the round dishcloth I was making. There was a link to show how to make a Magic Circle, when I opened up this site there was lots of pictures, a video and step by step instruction. I think this helped because I have never heard or have done a magic circle before. The site was nice to look at and I liked the design of it. If there were more pictures of the cloth i was making, the site would have been perfect.
When looking at all the sites I have used, I think that it is good to see what I like and don’t like about these sites. I liked all the links she had on her website. It made it easier to navigate her site and look at other patterns. There was also links that led to materials that you could buy. It was good to see the materials they would buy because it gave me ideas of what needed for this project.
Hey Nadia,
Your dishcloth turned out beautifully!!! I really like the circular shape and the color choice! It’s interesting that you found the circle shape to be easier than the square once you got the hang of it. Reading patterns can be overwhelming when you are first starting out, so I applaud you for tackling that! Thanks for sharing your journey this week!
