Crochet Christmas Granny Squares Dishcloths

Decorate your kitchen this holiday season with Crochet Christmas Granny Square Dishcloths. These dish cloths, which are not only perfect for the host of any holiday party but also affordable, make a perfect gift. Crafted in a weekend using inexpensive cotton yarn, these four festive Christmas granny-square dishcloths are a thoughtful and exciting choice. 

The double crochet granny square pattern uses one color of cotton yarn per dishcloth and is finished with a slip stitch edge. For variation, use multiple colors on each cloth, or finish each fabric with a different color edge. I generally make dishcloths a little larger, since cotton yarn may shrink when washed and dried in a dryer. This pattern is adopted from the Granny Square Dishcloth pattern found in The Best of Lily Dishcloths.
