Dishcloth Sampler #2

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: everyone needs dishcloths! These patterns are based around the double crochet stitch, which is one of the basics, but can be modified in many different ways. Scroll down to see how I used DC to create three very different looking dishcloths that are still functional and pretty!

*Note: If you want these to come out as 7in by 7in, please do a little gauge swatch beforehand. I know I crochet a lot looser than most people and I don’t want you to end up with tiny dishcloths.
