Happy National Craft Month! As you all know sewing is one of my favorite crafts, but lately crocheting has been a close second. I love being able to sit with my family at night and work on a little something. Plus, by 8:00 PM I am usually to brain dead to be within a 10ft radius of my sewing machine. I am not a night person.
My latest crochet project has been making dish cloths, and I wanted to share with you this tutorial I found from Crochet “n” More.
I have tried many tutorials for dishcloths, only to tear it out in frustration. Some patterns took to long (complicated stitch) or used a lot of yarn ( a whole ball of Sugar n” Cream) which made it not worth it to me.
This tutorial is GREAT for beginners. I should know, I am one. The directions are clear and if that isn’t good enough, there is a video tutorial explaining everything. I can usually finish a dishcloth in about 2 evenings, and you can get 2 cloths out of one ball of Sugar n’ Cream.
I have been working like crazy to make a bunch of them. Why? Because while I was “out of it” from getting my wisdom teeth taken out, my husband who was so lovingly helping me with the dishes, threw out all my dishcloths because they looked a little rough. I guess he thought I had more some where else. NOT. So, I finding this tutorial was perfect timing.
Since it is National Craft month, what is your favorite craft? Is there a craft you would like to learn? If you have a craft blog or and Etsy shop leave me the link below, I would love to check it out.

Brenna I love crocheted dish cloths! I use to crochet a long time ago but haven’t in quite some time. I was never more than a beginner. I think I will give this a shot. Thanks for the inspiration.
Brenna, I love handmade dishcloths! I used to be able to knot them, but it has been years. This pattern is gorgeous! And I am in love with the colors you chose. Going to seriously need to teach myself how to crochet! Pinned and tweeted!!!
Thanks so much for sharing this pattern! I love crocheting dishcloths because I can finish them up quickly and feel like I’ve accomplished something
I have not crocheted in YEARS! I might have to give it another try and make a couple of these dishcloths. I can always use more and these are really cute
I have tried to learn how to knit. I definitely hope to conquer it when Zeva gets a bit older isn’t always trying to snatch things out of my hands. I also would love to relearn how to sew. (My stepmother taught me some of it when I was little, but I have forgotten everything she taught me.)
I think this is such a cute washcloth.
I love that color green too. From Nice to Meet You. 
Well you can’t be mad at a husband who does dishes… I’d fall over, let me tell you.
I like your dishcloths.
Thanks for linking up with us at Wicked Good Wednesdays! I hope you will come back tomorrow and share again!
Would love to have the pattern for the neat dishcloths! Thanks
Janelle, you can find the pattern here. http://www.crochetnmore.com/dishcloth.htm
I love this pattern and it was fun to make! Don’t know what size ball of Sugar n Cream you used but I only got about 1 1/2 dishcloths out of my skein. I will be using this pattern again for gifts. Thanks for sharing.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the pattern. I’m sorry you weren’t able to get 2 out if it. Maybe I just got lucky or did my stitches really tight. I will try it again, keeping that in mind to see what I get and I will change the information in the post if need be.
Sewing is my first love, too, but now that my sewing table is in our bedroom, it is generally covered with a mountain of stuff that has nothing to do with sewing, and it’s far too much work to dig it out AND attempt to begin a project. So I recently taught myself to crochet. Dish cloths are my new creative outlet! LOL I’m making some for my MIL fir Mother’s Day, and I’ll give this pattern a go!
April, I thought you were describing my sewing situation there for a second. If I wanted to sew something it would take me an hour to uncover my machine and find everything right now.
