Dreaming of Spring Dishcloth

Is anyone else dreaming of spring?  During my quiet time over Christmas, I worked on some crochet and sewing pattern ideas, drawn towards springtime colors and designs.  This is one that I sketched out but didn't make until last weekend.  I'm in love with this beautiful round dishcloth/washcloth!  Although it looks complex, this design is beginner-friendly.

If you are looking for another fun round dishcloth, the Ferris Wheel pattern is one of my favorites.  For more free dishcloth, washcloth and facial rounds click here.
