Dishcloth Crazy!

At the request of my husband, I’ve been attempting to use up the odds & ends of yarn in my stash.  When he opens the extra closet and sees yarn everywhere, he sees dollar signs.  In my defense, most of the yarn was purchased for a specific project, however those projects eventually got frogged.  So I pulled out all my leftover Sugar ‘n Cream Cotton and searched Ravelry for dishcloth patterns.

 

This is the Hexagon Washcloth by Catherine Lindsay.  I took out the last round of the pattern to make it a little smaller, and added the color change in rounds 4 through 6.

 

This is the Crochet Hexagon Dishcloth by Mary Ellen Meath.  Since I didn’t have enough of one color to finish it, I alternated a variegated and solid.  The yarns looked like they coordinated a little better before I crocheted them.  Still, it’s pretty.  I modified the last round a bit so the scallops would be spaced evenly.

 

This is the Lacy Honeycomb Dishcloth by Julie A. Bolduc.  I liked the color changes shown on the picture in Ravelry, so I followed that general idea. 

I think these will make excellent little gifts.  Now I might actually get to buy some new yarn!
