Dishclothes for the win….
On April 2, 2021 by PamI use these to practice my crocheting – both single and double crochet – and reading a pattern. The pattern is available on this website https://noroom4phonies.com/2021/03/04/so-now-i-have-started-crocheting/ and it is a great way to practice reading a pattern as well. I also use these as gifts…birthdays, Easter, Valentine’s Day. You can crochet a heart or shape
