Hand-Crocheted Dish Cloths

Hand-crocheted Dish Cloths - Red, White, and Blue

A couple of years ago I made crocheted stockings for each one of the grandlittles as part of their Christmas, and, to make sure that each child knew which stocking was theirs, I made each one of them in a different color. I had tons of yarn left over and have been looking for cute, little projects to use it up on ever since. When I saw these sweet, little, hand-crocheted dish cloths on a friend's website I knew that I had found my next project.

The dish cloths are really simple to make, and they work great. They will save money, too, because I will no longer be purchasing germ-collecting sponges. I can use the cloths, then, throw them right in the washer and dryer. Awesome!

My friend, Laura, not only makes and uses the cloths herself, but says she gives the dish cloths, along with a large bottle of dish soap, for bridal shower gifts. Isn't that a great idea? To read her post about that, click HERE.

To make the cloths: Chain 21, then single crochet in the second chain. Single crochet to end of row. *Chain one and turn. Single crochet in the first stitch and continue to the end of the row. Repeat from * until you have a square cloth.

Crocheted Booties

My friend, Carla, came over today and we spent the day crocheting together. It took me all day to figure it out, but I FINALLY got my first pair of baby booties completed! Thought I'd share...

And if anyone is interested in the pattern for these little cuties, you can find it here:
