Crochet Dishcloths

posted by cindylouh on November 30th, 2009 | Gift for women, gifts for families, gifts for friends, Gifts for the home, Gifts for the kitchen, handmade gifts |

Crochet dishcloths are a super simple little gift. Not only do they really work great they make up very quickly.  They are the perfect project to have around while watching TV, or for in the car during kid pick up time.

I used this simple pattern that makes a nice scalloped border without having to crochet around the edge. You can find the pattern here.  I was able to get two dishcloths from 1 ball of Sugar n' Cream cotton yarn.
