Crochet Social Textures Dishcloth

Crochet Social Textures Dishcloth

Are you loving how easy the Social Textures series is yet?  Well, here is the quickest project you can crochet with this simple, yet textured design.  I have a Social Textures Dishcloth, or washcloth if you prefer, using the newest cotton yarn, Lily Sugar'n Cream Scrub Off.

This is really the same as the Social Textures Baby Blanket, but you hook it up with cotton yarn, stop after 11 rounds and you have yourself a really pretty little dishcloth.  This is the perfect take along project because you can slip a ball of cotton yarn in your purse and hook these up without much thought.  Great for waiting rooms or social settings to keep on crocheting.

When you upload your project to The Crochet Crowd Stitch Social Group or Instagram, feel free to tag me so I can see what you have crocheted.  Follow me on Instagram @ jeannestein or on Facebook.  My designs can also be saved in your Ravelry favorites by following me HERE.
