Tipsy Clusters Washcloth - June Stitch of The Month | Posh Pooch Designs

 Tipsy Clusters Washcloth -
 June Stitch of The Month
 With Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

For June's Stitch of The Month, I wanted a design that

 was a little lacy, classy and also fun.

The Tipsy Clusters is a perfect crochet stitch pattern

 to learn in the summer. 

You can make a light throw or blanket, shawl, and scarf

 that is summer weight, with this stitch, as well as, 

lots of other things.

I designed the washcloth to measure about 11 X 11 inches.

 It is a nice size to work with for washing your face, and body.

It also would be a lovely gift in a set of 2 or 3 washcloths.

 

The yarn I chose is called The Fairgrounds, from Crafter's

 Secret/ Hobby Lobby. It is 100 % cotton and stitches up

 wonderfully. I Love this playful colorway. I stitched it up

 using an H / 5.00 MM crochet hook.

Basic Crochet Term Abreviations | Posh Pooch Designs

I have had a lot of People ask me,
 "What do all the Crochet Abbreviations mean"?

Most crochet patterns and pattern designers include a 
"Stitches and Terms" section at the top of the pattern
that include the abbreviations used and what they mean.

This is so you can refer back to them when ever needed.
The basic United States terms and abbreviations
 are as follows:
