My favorite kitchen dishcloths were in need of a promotion to the cleaning closet.
That fact created the need for new dishcloths:
These only took a few Downton Abby episodes to complete!
The pattern is here and works up really fast.
This is what the dishcloth and towel drawer looked like before:
And here's the after:
Three of these skeins:
yielded a total of nine dishcloths.
Here are the nine:
More on the three in the front with the fancy picot edge in a future post.
Aren't these:
perfect for the cleaning cabinet now?
Still in good shape...just a little faded.
Here are the six color combos:
These instructions for the mitered dishcloths are easy to follow.
They are complete with a lot of step-by-step photos.
Once you make a few for yourself you will likely find your friends and family requesting them.
The really great thing about using these as a dishcloth is that, after use, you can just rinse and wring them thoroughly and hang them from a hook by the sink or the faucet with that convenient handle. This drying technique keeps them smelling fresh and resisting germs.
These dishcloths have been a real hit among those that have received them as gifts, especially with the added thoughtfulness of coordinating the colors with the recipients kitchen.

I love these in all their germ-resistant glory!
And here they are photographed all around the kitchen to show off their coordinating fashion:

A special thank you, to the dishcloths,
for modeling for the numerous photos on this post. :-)
They are so cute! I really want to crochet some dishcloths for myself. I have lots of cotton yarn left from some other projects and I really should just do it. There are so many fun things to make that dishcloths always fall by the wayside, but they are so useful and I would enjoy using my own creations!

ReplyDeleteGreat work as always :-) I love how you made the three colors look so different with the different combinations. After making my crazy cloths, I was thinking about making some of your mitered ones. Now I have more reason to :-)
