(To
purchase/download, please click the image)
Still don’t have all your gifts ready?
Made with the popular
dish sponge yarn (washable at 60°C in the dishwasher or washing machine), these pieces are quick to crochet.
Included in the
download :
- PDF crochet pattern for a dish sponge ball with an embroidered face (diameter approx. 7 cm)
- PDF crochet pattern for a dishcloth (size: approx. 20 cm x 20 cm)
Both patterns include a
short version and a detailed,
illustrated pattern as well as crochet basics with all stitches used.
The embroidered little face gives the dish sponge ball a fun touch for gifts. If the ball (not filled) is pushed outward, it is a smiling dish sponge; pushed inward, it is a “Halloween face.” If left without a “face,” the ball also looks great as a Christmas ornament.
Materials for 1 dishcloth + 1 dish sponge ball:
approx. 50 g Rico Creative Bubble, 100% polyester, e.g. color 007 light blue + 50 g (or leftover yarn) col. 012 black, 50 g – 100 m, washable at 60°C in the dishwasher, crochet hook 4.0; scissors, yarn needle for weaving in ends.
PLEASE NOTE: With this yarn, black is only suitable for embroidering or edging.
The dishcloth pattern also works wonderfully for crocheting
potholders; in that case, please use 100% cotton yarn (potholder yarn) for heat resistance.
