Easy Crochet Dishcloth Pattern
My mom and I both were in need of new dishcloths so I decided to whip some up for us. I decided to use the Herringbone Double Crochet stitch for our new dishcloths. I love the texture of this stitch. It has a slight zig-zag design to it that I thought would look pretty as a dishcloth.
I’ve made several of these now and we have both been enjoying using them. Plus, it’s more fun to do the dishes when you have a pretty dishcloth to do them with 🙂
