Hi grannyjudith.
Feel free to use the pattern for your mystery crochet along as long as it's free for people to participate :)
Have fun!
I totally love your patterns! great job.
All of your patterns are lovely! Thank you so much for sharing them. I will definitely make several of them. I plan to start with your truly Sensational scarf.
I love the texture. Thanks for the pattern!
Hi sarah thanks so much for letting me use your pattern for my group I hope they will enjoy it as much as I do!!
I love this pattern! I'm going to make it into a shawl. :o)
Are you EVER going to post again? I sure hope so!
Thanks everybody! I will be posting again, but I haven't had the time to design anything new in a while. I've got something on the back burner, though, so stay tuned... :)
Hello,
I have a few questions.
First, the giant ball of yarn, I could not find a giant ball of that yarn. How many ounces in in that, or is it the cone?
Second is this a hand towel or a bath towel size? I am looking to make a bath towel one day, and if this is bath towel size, thank you.
If not, I am going to use your guide 10 +2 to make one. Of course this would be based on your design.
1 - I have no idea - sorry! It was a large ball, about the size of a medium watermelon.
2 - It's a hand towel.
I hope that helps!
That's a lovely pattern! I love the color you used too.
Sara,
I had so much fun making this towel in a bath size. It works up quickly and easily. Wish I had more cotton yarn to make more.
ciao.

Thanks for your generosity!

These are all very pretty and I want to make some of them even though I prefer to knit! Thanks for putting them online.
Beautiful pattern!
Well, I just made this pattern in white, and I must say that it is wonderful. I love your patterns. You are the greatest. Keep them coming. What about a tablecloth pattern? Thanks so much for sharing and being so generous!!

Good looking towel! It would also make a very nice gift for a bride-to-be. A set would be great to use as guest towels.
Towel ?? No way it's far too pretty....I like it for a shawl. Very Nice..
i love this pattern, I am going to make some for xmas gifts! thank you for sharing this simple pattern.. I am a beginner and this project is going to be my summer project.. Thank you...
I love making towels but my fingers are old and arthritic. Cotton yarn is so hard to handle and I have to crochet so slowly. Do you have any helpful hints to make crochet with cotton a bit easier. It would be most appreciated. Thanks you for the wonderful patterns and directions.17
I am doing this pattern as a trim, in South Maid mercerized cotton thread. I love how it looks ~
'Tiny, tight and sweet in white'!
I may still put it on a terry towel.
In examining the pictures & then reading the pattern, the pictures show a fan or shell stitch, where a number of stitches are done all in the same stitch.
The pattern instructs crocheting one stitch per previous row's stitch, & it comes out in a wave pattern, rather than a fan/shell.
Is it just me?
It is a shell pattern. See row 3: "work 7 tc in next sc" that's the shell part. The first and last row are what makes it square.
I would like to know the dimensions of the fan-ciful towel please
