One thought on “Free crochet dishcloth pattern: Sunshine”

  1. I LOVE this pattern!!! Since last night, I’ve made four of them, and plan to make more!

    In case anyone’s interested in some specs on mine, I used a size F hook (my tension is loose), and Sugar ‘n’ Cream. I got one full cloth in the ombre, two in solid, and one with ombre through round 7 with solid for the last two rounds, and I have only about 6yds left of the ombre and none of the solid. Pretty awesome yarn chicken, if you ask me!
