MEET THE NOT KNIT DISHCLOTH
Love the look of knit items but haven’t quite ventured into learning to knit? Maybe you should give this tunisian crochet dishcloth a try. This dishcloth uses the tunisian purl stitch which is identical to the knitted purl stitch. The best thing about is that you won’t need to by knitting needles! Make a few for your kitchen , housewarming gifts or 50 to sell at markets or in your shops.
This dishcloth works up super fast with cotton yarn and is a great way to bring some color into your kitchen. The stitch creates a very plush fabric that is lasting, textured and beautiful. The good thing about the purl stitch is that unlike other tunisian stitches, your fabric doesn’t curl!
