This dishcloth is crocheted using a color palette borrowed from menswear. It features solid blue and solid camel-colored yarns paired with a shaded brown variegated yarn.
The dishcloth is worked in afghan stitch, and has an edging of single crochet.
This is a new colorway of my earthtone ombre dishcloth. Use the same pattern to crochet this version, but make the necessary color substitutions as follows:
- Color A: Light Blue worsted weight Peaches & Creme cotton yarn (a solid color)
- Color B: Shaded Brown worsted weight Peaches & Creme cotton yarn (an ombre color)
- Color C: Camel worsted weight Peaches & Creme cotton yarn (a solid color)
In this colorway, the restful blue color helps to tone down the "busy-ness" of the variegated yarn.
Pairing solid yarns with multicolored yarns can give you some interesting effects. You may still get some color flashing, as I did in the sample. Interestingly enough, the flashing is much more noticeable in the photo than it is in the real dishcloth; in the actual sample, the color flashing is not as distracting as it appears on your monitor.
