Crocheted dishcloths can be a beautiful addition to your home. It’s also a very useful accessory, which will come in handy in a lot of situations – whenever anything spills out or need gentle scrubbing.
If you are considerate about environment, you should definitely have handmade dishcloths, because it’s one of the best alternatives now. The main thing when making them is to use natural fibers which are absorbent, instead of synthetic ones, which are not. Use novelty yarns to get “scrubbie” effect and make them better for cleaning. Take a look at examples below and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.
