Some special birthday girl will be getting some super cute dishcloths this weekend! Why? Because I was in the dishcloth making mood.
The 3 I made were from www.ravelry.com
They are called, “The Soft Waves – Kitchen Lovelies” (pictured on the bottom right), “The Sunrise Dishcloth” (in the middle), and my favorite “The Moon Flower Dishcloth” (bottom left). They are all made from the same skein, a Lily’s Sugar ‘n Cream stripes called Natural Stripes.
All the patterns are free on Ravelry, I will include the “Sunrise” cloth on here, very easy!
