The Star Stitch Crochet Dishcloth is a beautiful project full of texture! Perfect for all around the home or as a washcloth too. The pattern includes two sizes you can try. You can also play around with the multiples to get the exact size you need too. I made one in a solid pink and one in a multicolor variegated yarn to show you how fun it can be to experiment with colors too. Last but not least is an super easy hanging loop for quick drying. Try making both sizes for a pretty set!
