Flora Dish Cloths Pattern

Hello Crochet Friends! I am excited to bring you yet another Free Crochet Pattern, just in time for the Holidays! I had a lot of fun making and designing the Flora Dish Cloths Pattern! I hope y’all will find it useful and fun to make also! 🙂

I don’t know about y’all, but my favorite thing to wash dishes with is a crochet or knit dish cloth! Although, favorite and dishes are not words I typically put together… 😉 But, we’ve all got to do what we’ve got to do and dishes are a part of life. So with crochet Flora Dish Cloths to the rescue, we’ve got the dishes done!

Flora Dish Cloths make great Gifts!

The Flora Dish Cloths are quick and easy to make! They take me less than 30 minutes to whip up!! They make great gifts, especially given with a nice bar of soap, handmade scrubby, or even a bath bomb! Thank your favorite Teacher, Mail Carrier, or Hair Stylist with a handmade gift from the heart!! Don’t forget to make a few for yourself too!

These Wash Cloths make great items to sell at your markets and craft shows too! It’s always good to stock your table with quick projects you can sell for a lower price point! Don’t crochet? Send me a message through my Contact Page or through my Etsy shop here! I would love to create a few Flora Dish Cloths just for you!
