Crocheting Face/Wash Cloths and More

Remember all of the cloths that I crocheted at the beginning of the year?  I sold all 50 of them to my sister who put them in her shop.  She said they were a big seller for Mother's Day gifts.

So I decided to make some more!  This time I picked up some yellow yarn from Hobby Lobby and made some creamy, soft yellow cloths.  

Here is a better view of what they look like.  Each cloth takes about an hour to make and the cotton yarn from Hobby Lobby is soft and easy to work with.  Here is an older post of mine with the pattern if you'd like to make one.  

I made the little stars a while back but they coordinate so well with these colored cloths.  

After making the washcloths, I had some leftover yarn and decided to make some flowers.  I wanted them to look like daisies and here is what I came up with.

To make them:

Chain 4, sl stitch to form a ring.

Row 1:  Ch 2, 11 dc in ring, sl stich in ring and tie off.

Row 2:  Sc, dc, ch 2 (repeat 12 times)

End with sl stitch in ring.  Sew in ends.

They're quick and easy to make.  I turned mine into pins that you can wear or put on a purse, etc.  One of my friends suggested putting a hair clip on the back.  Maybe I will try that next.

I cut a circle from felt using one of my Sizzix dies, glued it on and then added the pin strip.  To make the pin strips more heavy duty, I added some Sticky strip double sided tape to them.  

They're a cute little embellishment for your lapel or handbag.  

Here's a pic of me wearing two of them.  The yellows paired well with my sweater.  :)
