Crochet Flower-Shaped Washcloths

crochet flower-shaped washcloths In no time at all you can crochet a set of flower-shaped washcloths for a gift. Crocheted and knitted washcloths feel so much better than the store-bought cotton squares.

Give these as a gift with a luxury soap, bath salts, and other spa type bath items.

Notice there are two different dishcloth patterns to crochet. The Daisy Wheel (the pink & white and the blue & yellow cloths) and the Primrose (white & yellow). You can find these patterns at Lily® Sugar’n Cream®. They are published in the booklet called Bright Ideas. You’ll have to become a site member to get the pattern booklet.

Colorful and Posh Knitted Dishcloths

I have begun knitting and crocheting gifts for Christmas. Believe it or not, the holiday is just around the corner. I like giving soft, puffy knitted dishcloths (washcloths) with soap, sugar/salt scrub, or other bath goodies. Lily® Sugar’n Cream® provides the free pattern for the dishcloth (brick stitch) which knits up very nicely. I really like how the colors pop with this pattern.

Note: You’ll have to become a site member of Lily® Sugar’n Cream® to acquire the pattern. The pattern is called Sugar’n Cream – Color Me Mod Dishcloth.
