Venice Beach Hexagon Washcloth
Lion Brand® Cotton-Ease®
GAUGE: Exact gauge is not essential to this project.
STITCH EXPLANATION: TECHNIQUE EXPLANATION
This design begins by working an adjustable ring to create a neat, closed center on the finished Washcloth.
Adjustable ring method: Wrap yarn around index finger. Insert hook into ring on finger, yarn over and draw up a loop. Carefully slip ring from finger and work the stitches of Rnd 1 (in pattern, below) into the ring. When Rnd 1 is complete gently, but firmly, pull tail to close up the ring.
|
NOTES: 1. To help Washcloth lay flat, do NOT turn at beginning of Rnds 2-5. Turn at beginning of Rnds 6-11.
2. The ch 2 worked at the beginning of Rnds 1-11 does not count as a st.

| Venice Beach Hexagon Washcloth Reviewed by Melissa Ramke on 2012-08-29 |

| I have tried so many patterns, attempting to make an attractive hexagon. This is the first one that has actually worked for me. I love the illusion of movement that happens here - as if the shape ripples outward fluidly. I'm attaching a photo of my motif, after row 6. Thank you!
