Once again, as with many patterns, I found these on Pinterest. Both were made with Peaches & Creme worsted cotton yarn. The Crunchy Stitch dishcloth was made with Seaside stripes. The hot pad is called Starburst and it was a little tricky figuring out the assembly, but I managed (obviously).
Here is a pattern I found on Pinterest called Sailor's Knot. It's crocheted using Peaches & Creme crochet cotton yarn and is supposed to be a dishcloth but it's so thick that I will be using it for a hot pad instead. The next time I crochet this pattern I'll be using three different colors.
