Little Dishcloth or Motif

Designed By Julie A. Bolduc

This little dishcloth can also be used as a granny square for an afghan. I made it with cotton yarn for a small dishcloth because I needed a new little one. Plus I made this to show you that you can use any granny square pattern, make it out of cotton yarn, and use it as a dishcloth!
