Ferris Wheel Dishcloth



It has been a few weeks since I last published anything.  I have been so busy designing, testing, and crafting!  Right now I have two more dishcloths, a blanket, and fingerless gloves patterns all nearly ready to share plus several other designs in progress.  I can't wait to share what I've been making!

I'd like to thank my friend Jada and cousin Jen for testing this pattern and thanks also to Jada for suggesting the name.  It does look very much like a Ferris Wheel!

If you enjoy round dishcloths, be sure to check out the Fairy Rings Dishcloth and the Dreaming of Spring free patterns.

Updated to add:  There is now a Ferris Wheel Coaster pattern!

    1. How big would you like it to be? You can alternate BLO and every other BLO rounds using the typical increases for crocheting in the round.
