Welcome to the 2nd installment of our Dishcloth CAL.
Erin’s Dishcloth brings us a simple, yet effective texture. Not all texture is bulky or layered. Sometimes, just a combination of basic stitches can result in a beautiful and textured fabric. This dishcloth uses only the humble single and double crochet stitches. It’s the combination and position of them that make all the difference. This cloth provides just enough texture for some heavy dishpan action, as well as being so lovely to look at. Take a go at it – it’s a breeze to work up!
This dishcloth is named after my lovely DIL – Erin, who is enjoying her first round at motherhood. I say “first round” because, well – I am a granny after all. 💜💜
Prizes: Cascade Yarns has generously donated some Nifty Cotton Yarn for prizes this year. This is the same yarn that I’ve used in all 8 dishcloth designs, and it is soooo nice. You won’t want to miss out on this prize!
