Scalloped Edge Dish Cloth



Ahhh...Friday is finally here & the weekend is on the horizon!  This has been a long week for me, but I've got a few craft projects finished!  For one, this cute scalloped edge dish cloth.  They work up pretty quick.  You can knock out a few in no time at all!  I always try have a few handmade dish clothes on hand.  Attach one to a bottle of kitchen hand soap (or even better--handmade soap) and you have a quick inexpensive gift.

Hook: Size 7
1 ball cotton thread--your choice of color.  (I used Lily Sugar'n Cream in a variety of colors)


Pattern:
