It’s is the last-minute, mad dash, hooks flying time of the year. That time where you are wildly trying to calculate number of stitches remaining x yarn splitting ease + pattern difficulty + kid (cat/dog/husband) interruptions x the square root of sleep to determine if you will actually be able to finish all those gift in time!
Well I’m here for you with two quick and easy patterns. They are beautiful, festive, and practical. Plus, you can use any color of cotton yarn and gift these all year long!
Plus plus (apparently I’m into bad math today) this can be a set of dishcloths and pot scrubbers or washcloths and face scrubbies.
Multipurpose for the win! Triple plus, the treble (or triple…see what I did there?) crochets make these work up so quickly!
Since I definitely understand last minute gift making, I created a crochet planner so you can plan ahead and complete all your projects in time to give them joyfully.
