those little last minute gifts for all the people you come in contact with regularly.
I've been trying to think of little homemade gifts for people and one thing I thought
of was making some cute little hand-crocheted or knit kitchen sets.
I've started out with this ruffled washcloth which I made using crochet. I used
bernat slipper yarn because of it's rough texture. Crocheting in
a back loop-front loop pattern gives this cloth a cute look. I'm planning on doing
2 different washcloth designs and a dishcloth similar to this one to go with it.
Here's the pattern for this first cloth. I'll post the rest I do as they get done.
I'd love to see what you did with this pattern! Send it to me and I'll post it here with a link to your page if you like

Materials:
Crochet Hook Size H/8
Any yarn will do - even scrap yarn you have lying around
Pattern:
1) Chain 21
2) Single crochet in second chain from hook and each chain across.
3) Turn, chain 1. *Single crochet in first single crochet, then single crochet in
back-loop of next single crochet.* Repeat from * to * to end of row.
4) Chain 1, turn. Repeat row 3 until cloth is desired length.
5) To add ruffles: double crochet 4 times in each single crochet all around each edge.
6) Fasten off.
Embroidery on the cloth could be nice too but keep in mind it's a
washcloth and will probably be used for scrubbing!
Or use a soft yarn for a facecloth. With some soaps and candles that
could be nice too!
