Honeycomb Dishcloth
Designed By Julie A. BolducThis dishcloth uses the variation of the popcorn stitch the kernel stitch and since this dishcloth is round, I could not think of a better name. Sort of resembles the cereal of the same name. Well sort of. It is a fairly fast and easy dishcloth to make and would make a great addition to a gift basket of kitchen related goodies.
