Sunflower Dishcloth Crochet pattern

Happy Mothers Day Everyone! Hope you have a wonderful day!


This is my rendition of Champygirl's Bountiful Petals dishcloth pattern as listed on Crochetville. The original pattern (the first 2 colors) is reprinted with her permission.

Materials:

Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn in 3 different colors
(center color, petal color, leaf color)
Size G hook (4.25)
Yarn needle (to weave in ends)
Finish Size: Almost 8”inches round picots and all.

Different Stitches:

Front Post Double Crochet Decrease (FPDCDEC)-[Yarn over, insert hook from front to back around post of next st and then to the front going thru other side of st, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull thru 2 loops] Do this 2 times, yarn over and pull thru all 3 loops on hook.

Picot- Ch2, sc in 2nd chain from hook.

Front Post Treble Crochet (FPTC)-Yarn over twice, insert hook from front to back around post of specified st and then to the front going thru other side of st, yarn over, pull up a loop, [yarn over, pull thru 2 loops] Do this 3 times.

Directions:

Rnd 1: With center color, ch5, join with sl st to first chain to form ring, ch2, 12 dc in ring, join with sl st to front loop of first dc.
(12dc) (ch2 does not count as dc)

Rnd 2: [Ch3, sl st in front loop only of next st] repeat 11 times, ch3, join with sl st to joining sc of Rnd 1.
(12 sl sts, 12-ch3 loops)

Note: On Rnd 3 your working into the back loops left free from working Rnd 2 in front loops only. Do not work into any of the sc sts and ch3 loops from Rnd 2.

Rnd 3: Ch1, sl st in first free back loop, ch2, 1 dc in same back loop, 2 dc in each of the next 11 back loops, join with sl st to front loop of first dc.
(24dc)

Rnd 4: [ch2, sc in front loop only of next st] repeat 23 times, ch2, join with sl st to joining sc of Rnd 3.
(24 sc, 24-ch2 loops)

Finish off center color.

Note: On Rnd 5 your working into the back loops left free from working Rnd 4 in front loops only. Do not work into any of the sc sts and ch3 loops from Rnd 4.

Rnd 5: Join petal color with sl st to first free back loop, ch4, 1 dc in same back loop, 1 dc in next back loop, [(1 dc, ch2, 1 dc) all in next back loop, 1 dc in next back loop] Do this 11 times, join with sl st to 3rd chain of beginning ch4.
(36dc, 12-ch2 spaces) (Beginning ch4 counts as dc and a chain space)

Rnd 6: Sl st in next chain space, ch3, (1 dc, ch2, 2 dc) all in same chain space, [skip next 3 dc, (2 dc, ch2, 2 dc) all in next ch2 space] Do this 11 times, skip next 3 dc, join with sl st to top of beginning ch3,
(48dc, 12-ch2 spaces) (Beginning ch3 counts as dc)

Note: On Rnd 7 when working a FPTC you’re working into the dc on Rnd 5. On Rnd 5 there’s 12 groups of 3 dc separated by ch2 spaces. When working a FPTC you’re working into the middle dc of each group of 3 dc.


Rnd 7: Ch2, FPDCDEC first 2 sts together, (2 dc, Picot, 2 dc) all in next ch2 space, FPDCDEC next 2 sts together, FPTC in middle dc on Rnd 5, [FPDCDEC next 2 sts together, (2 dc, Picot, 2 dc) all in next ch2 space, FPDCDEC next 2 sts together, 1 FPTC in middle dc on Rnd 5] Do this 11 times, join with sl st to first FPDCDEC.
