Neat and Tidy Dishcloth

 A free crochet pattern





I started thinking about the idea for this dishcloth a few weeks ago and I thought for sure someone had already come up with the design, so I started looking around different pattern sites and I didn't see anything that was the same. I decided I should go ahead and type it up. 

This dishcloth is a lot of fun to make. I can make it in an hour and, and it has great visual appeal. I love that I can customize the colors for any theme, and I of course love the texture that the front post stitches give the dishcloth. 

Where You Can Get the Pattern

I also have the pattern for sale in my shops. this is a great option for those of you who would like an ads free Printer friendly version. The same price of the pattern keeps this blog running and helps provide extra money for me and my family.
