One of my first crochet projects was a dishcloth. I like crocheting dishcloths for lots of reasons: they're green (when they get grody, you can toss them in the washer instead of the trash can), they're simple to make, they whip up quickly, there are a slew of patterns available for free online (just search "crochet dishcloths" and you'll find enough patterns to browse through for days or find hundreds and hundreds easily organized on Ravelry), they make dish washing fun.
And they make a great gift, especially when fastened to a fancy bottle of dish detergent.

Many granny square patterns also make great dishcloths. Something with a bit of a lacy feel will help the cloth to dry a little quicker.

Added little coordinating gift tags to complete the gifts:

I hope this isn't posting twice. I tried to comment but then I had to sign in and I'm not sure it went through after signing in.
ReplyDeleteI know this is a really old post but any off the wall chance that you'd remember what the yarn is in photo number one? (the pink, white, blue, green yarn) Thanks so much!!
JMR, I did a quick look online and it looks like it is Lily Sugar and Cream in Lava Lamp. Not sure if they still make it. Thanks for visiting my blog!
DeleteThank you so much!!! I had that saved, wondering if it was that one, but wasn't 100% sure.
