Need help with making a TR or DTR stitch? Google, Pinterest and YouTube have lots of tutorials, both written and video instructions, to help with new stitches.

One easy alteration to the pattern to make it a dishcloth is to add another round of 2 HDC in every stitch for a total of 80 and then add more petals by just repeating the petal pattern until the inner circle is full.
