Doily Dish Cloth
This crochet dish cloth has a lot of open lace, so it’s more of a doily. It works up quick and easy and makes for a great gift to go in a spa set or as part of a housewarming gift.
For this design I used a cotton yarn, but any similar worsted weight yarn will work just as well.
If you like doilies, you might also enjoy this doily, or this snowflake table runner. For dishcloths, check out this star dish dishcloth, which can also be used as a small doily.
