Find Outstanding Crochet Dishcloth and Washcloth Patterns
Dishcloths and washcloths aren’t the most glamorous things you could be making. However, they are some of my favorite types of knitting and crochet projects; I hope you’ll share my enthusiasm for them, too.
For those of you who are beginners at crocheting or knitting, dishcloths make outstanding starter projects. If you make any mistakes in them, it won’t be a big deal, because the cloth will still scrub as intended, regardless of how it looks.
Complicated shaping isn’t an issue at all with most dishcloths and washcloths, which is another fantastic reason that they’re ideal projects for beginners. Plus they are zippy-quick projects, usually working up just as fast as you could expect from any knitted or crocheted item.
