This pattern came about from me wanting a simple cloth over ten years ago now and not being able to find exactly what I wanted. I started playing with some ideas and finally came up with this simple cloth.
I also use this one now when I teach classes on crochet because it is such a simple one and helps new learners quickly gain confidence. It doesn’t take much to change the size of this cloth either, and there are some more patterns coming to my Ravelry shop using the single/treble stitch pattern I them such as a Swiffer pad and a hanging towel.
I’m working to get my older patterns back up here after an issue with my old hosting service and losing everything when I was having some health problems. I learned so much from that, though, and look forward to rebuilding and getting to know the blogging world again!
