Puff Stitch Dishcloth, Placemat and Coaster Set

This dishcloth, placemat and coaster set is the perfect addition to your table at your next dinner party. The set features a beautiful texture that you’ll be proud to display in front of your favorite dinner guests.

Better yet, the set is very versatile, and can be used not only on the dining table, but throughout the home as well.

• The table mat is the perfect size for a coffee table or a bedroom dresser.
• The dishcloth also makes for a nice washcloth. And if you like, you can also add a backing to it and use it as a hotpad or potholder.
• The coaster also makes for a lovely scrubby that you can use in the kitchen or bathroom.

The pattern has the same stitch pattern as I used for this soap saver, a hand soap cozy for the bathroom and a mug cozy for the kitchen. So if you like the stitch, make a set for the kitchen and one for the bathroom.

I used a cotton yarn, which is not only heat resistant, but absorbent as well. Bernat Handicrafter Cotton has been my go-to yarn, but any similar worsted weight yarn will work,
