Shadowbox Dish Cloth Pattern

Have fun in the kitchen with this Crochet pattern, which is full of texture for extra scrubbing capabilities. It works up quickly—it looks complicated, but it’s not!

Materials

Queensland Cotton/Ocean Mist /Mermaid Beach/ 186y/ 100g /3.5oz- Approximately 2 dishcloths from Hank ( samples used 32g each. However this will vary with each crocheters tension and overall size of the cloth)

Size– 7 1/4″ x 6″

Yarn Substitution 

Knit Picks Dishie/190y/100g Sample used approximately 29g

Please remember to add a buffer to your yarn amounts. I have not added any cushion to the amounts used on this page (a buffer will be added to the pdf patterns). My hopes is that you can use some of your stash for This CAL. However, everyone’s yarn tension differs.
