Handmade Waffle Knit Dishcloths

These citrus colored handmade waffle knit dishcloths were fun to knit.  Bright orange and yellow reminds me of citrus and sunshine and fun! I love the texture of them too.  And they are easy, mindless knitting.....you know....the kind you can do while watching tv, not having to do too much thinking about pattern.

 

Want to knit some of these? The pattern is free on Ravelry! You can sign up free too! Once you sign up you can click here for the pattern.

Crocheted Wash Cloths

It's not too early to start crocheting up some little Christmas gifts for friends and family! These little crocheted wash cloths are quick and easy to make. With a little yarn, a crochet hook, blunt eye yarn needle and a little time you can crochet something pretty cute and handy to use around the house either as a dish cloth or a wash cloth.  I found this grit stitch washcloth pattern at Lionbrand. You will need to sign up for a free membership but you will then have access to hundreds of free patterns! The little flower cloths make great little face cloths and also make nice coasters too. I can't remember where I got the pattern for the little flower cloths/coasters, but you can google flower face cloths or flower coasters and you should find plenty of free patterns.

My sister looks forward to receiving a few of these each year. Tie them up with a pretty ribbon and you have a cute gift without much cost or time! A frugal and well received gift!

Are you making any handmade Christmas gifts this year?
