Bead and Lace Crochet Cotton Dishcloth Pattern

This crochet cotton dishcloth pattern can be worked up in one or more colors. I used two colors left over from other projects in attempt to reduce my yarn stash. With two colors I had to fasten off after each color change, but it’s worth it. I like how it turned out.

I was trying to go for a Christmas look, but you need a Christmas red for that. This red is more for the summer and it reminds me of tiny little roses in a rose garden.

Most of my dishcloths are normally on the small side, so I decided to make this one a bit bigger. The finished size is 8 by 8 inches, but you can easily make this smaller in a simple multiple of two. Or, make it even bigger for a placemat.
