To add some texture and scrubbing ability to your dishcloth / spa cloth try using Bernat Handicrafter Scrub off by Yarnspirations! While running into Walmart for an errand I spotted this yarn and instantly had to have it! It was the perfect yarn to make face scrubbies. I decided to whip up a dishcloth for my mom and add it to her Birthday gift.
She loved her gift basket of goodies including some Hershey’s Kisses! Crochet the matching Scrubbie pattern HERE and the basket pattern HERE
I hope you enjoy this Crochet Heart Dishcloth Pattern.
