Everyday Dish Cloth Pattern

The Everyday Dish Cloth is designed using 100% cotton yarn. Cotton yarn is great when wet and perfect for all kitchen or bathroom needs. The Everyday Dish Cloth is just that, it can be used everyday and thrown in the dryer. The stitch I used has been around for many years, it is very versatile and can easily be increased to make a blanket.
