Crochet Dishcloths

For ages now I've been seeing beautiful dishcloths on the internet but to be honest with you was a bit revolted at the thought of washing dishes with them. Then while in town a few days ago came across a lady selling some in beautiful wool that looked like grass but in different colours. I bought one to test out and was hooked. These dishcloths are really good!!!! So I decided to go and buy some of the same wool in the colour that I wanted and here they are.

It's very rare you'll find me sitting doing nothing, even watching the tv I have to be doing something else so this was the perfect project. I was so surprised at how quick they came together.

 I love this colour green. Don't you think it looks just like grass?

I washed some dishes with the purple one today and it was perfect but the green ones wash better.
They lather up more.

 I already had the flowers made. You can find the tutorial for them HERE.



I'm going to be making loads more of these once I get some free time. They had some beautiful colours in the shop. The wool I used for the grassy ones is 100% Polyester. I'm not sure what the purple one is as I already had it at home and had thrown away the label.

For the round one I used the tutorial HERE. Where with bag patterns I follow them and rarely change them, crochet is a different matter. I don't use the wool suggested or the crochet hook size so when I made mine I only needed to make 5 or 6 rounds and the beauty of this green grass wool is that all mistakes are well disguised. For the purple one I used this tutorial HERE, again I didn't use the hook or wool suggested but just by chance it came out the size I wanted using the tutorial exactly as it was written except I did two rounds around the four edges instead of once.

Ok, back to sewing again.
