I have been told many times by many people that I should start making washcloth sets. The thought of washing with a crocheted cotton washcloth did not sound very pleasant. Last week, the hubs and I took the kids to a nearby Canal Days where I seen many stands selling handmade items. At one of the stands there were loads of crocheted and knitted washcloths. When I picked one up and felt the light way texture I knew instantly that I had to make some DISH CLOTHS. Why I did not think of dish rags instead of washcloths in the first place, I have no idea, but these babies are genius!! Enjoy this YARNTASTIC, simple, practical, and FREE dish cloth pattern!
Supplies
Peaches and Creme, Worsted weight cotton
J/10 – 6.00 MM hook
Yarn Needle (for weaving in ends)
Abbreviations
CH – Chain
SC – Single Crochet
HDC – Half Double Crochet
Row 1: CH 21, HDC in 3rd CH from Hook and into the other 18 chains. Turn.
Row 2-16: CH 2, HDC across. Turn
Now you will work around the entire outside of the wash cloth
CH 1, SC 2 times into that corner, SC around but with 2 SC into each corner(I did ONE SC into each side of a HDC ) Slip stitch into first SC. Finish Off and weave in your ends.
BuyCostumes.com is a great way to save money on store-bought costumes!
(you know, so you can buy more yarn!)

I love crocheted dish cloths. I used to make them many years ago and just started again. I make them for gifts now because people just don’t want to pay the price you need to make it worthwhile to sell them.
I did make some bright colorful ones that most of them sold and was pleasantly surprised. Link: http://brendasbric-a-brac.blogspot.com/2012/06/dishcloths-colors-i-decided-i-might-as.html
I love the ones you made and I plan to try it sometime soon.
