Jacob’s Ladder Dish Cloth
This crochet dishcloth pattern features a pretty cabled-like look. It offers a nice textured fabric to make your dish-scrubbing a bit easier. You could crochet this up for gift ideas, sale items for craft shows as well as for your own home.
Not only do you get a nice texture, but it is durable as well.
I used Bernat Handicrafter Cotton yarn, but any similar yarn will work just as well to make this.
