I think I may have miscalculated last week...
Only five weeks and two days till Christmas!
I do realize that we have yet to make it past Thanksgiving... But, those of us giving handmade must get started early.
Crochet dishcloths make a great gift. They work up quickly and people love them! Package a pair of these simple dishcloths tied in a pretty bow and you have a stunning gift for any occasion. Handmade for less than $3.00!
Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn
Hook Size U.S. J/10 (6.00mm)
Scissors

Row 1: Work 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook. Continue working 1 sc in each ch stitch to end. (26sc)
Row 2: Ch 1, turn. Work 1 sc in 2nd stitch from hook, work 1 dc in next stitch. Continue working {1 sc, 1dc}. Repeat between {} to the end of the row. (26stitches)

These are really lovely. I think I'm convinced now - I wasn't sure about making washcloths for Christmas but the pretty bows and feminine stitch have sold me! Thanks for this post, it will make Christmas much easier on me!
ReplyDeleteI agree handmade gifts need to be made early! I'm still working on one! Thank goodness...I got really excited about Christmas and started my gifts in October:)and finished most in September!
ReplyDeleteI make these every year for Christmas stocking stuffers!
ReplyDeleteCute, Ive never made dish cloths before I really should give them a go! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty and is much more like a facecloth than a dishcloth. So soft! A lovely pattern, thank you! Will def be making more of these xxx
