A Dishcloth in (less than) a Day Free *Crochet* Pattern

I love crocheted dishcloths!!  

*Confession!*  I actually love crochet dishcloths more than knitted dishcloths.



For some reason, in my mind, dishcloths clean better when they have the little holes in them created from crochet, while knitted cloths make better facecloths (aka washcloths). My favourite washcloth is my "Bee Sweet Washcloth pattern" which can be found:  HERE
