It is very easy to design a dishcloth – yes even you can do it. For this dishcloth I got out one of my crochet stitch pattern books. I picked a pattern that looked interesting. After crocheting about an eight inch square of the pattern I finished it off with a round of double crochet stitches. Voila! – a dishcloth. Try it – it’s easy.
