Sack of Dishcloths Pattern Sampler

Everyone needs dishcloths! They make great housewarming gifts, and they’re quick and easy to make. Best of all, they’re perfect for trying out new stitches. I decided to include some of my favorites in this roundup of dishcloth patterns.

*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.
