Weekly Wash #18: Blooming With Hope Cloths
While designing a 12″ afghan block for the 2020 Moogly Crochet Along, I kept looking at its center and thinking it would make a cute flower all on its own. Of course, I also started wondering if I could turn it into a cloth. I seem to see cloth possibilities in everything!
I gave it a try, and these happy little blooms were the result. Each one takes less than an hour and is simple to make. Use one as a colorful cloth, or make flowers with another yarn to brighten your home or add to a wreath. I hope they make you smile!
