The Cotton Dish Rag

 

 

 

I have made them myself to give as gifts but never used one until I got one as a gift.

I was amazed how soft it feels and what a great job it does. Not to mention the easy care.

If it is your first time to crochet then this might just be a easy project to practice your stitches and patterns.

 

 Give it a try!
