A few days ago I stared at my ragged dish cloths and contemplated purchasing new ones. I realized that I did not want just any “plain old” dish cloth. I wanted a product that was handmade, all cotton, and durable.
I ended up making the natural dish cloth that I wanted – just one so far. All it took was a few minutes short of an hour and the opening up of my memory banks. The real plus is that I didn’t have to pay someone to crochet the cloth for me.
For those of you that make handcrafted soap, or even those that have a back-to-basic creative yearning in life, I can guarantee you these are easy to make. And if you aren’t so perfect with a crochet hook who really cares?! We’ll just call it au’ abiance! Right?
Pssst…inside the paper wrapper are simple instructions. All you need to do is learn how to crochet a chain, and single and double crochets.
Another pssst…I can see these as a colorful addition, in the right pattern and yarn hues, to a gift set.

I have knitted and croched wash cloths before. And gave them as gifts. I wrap the bar of soap and tied it with ribbon. They were really cute.
Hello Becky!
Goodness, we’ve not chatted in a while! So good to see you.
Your gifts sound great. I need to keep that in mind, especially now that I have a small stockpile of soap for personal use – could be gifts.
I made a few more dish cloths this past weekend. I think I’m on a roll!
God Bless!!
