Knitted dish cloth

I knitted a dish cloth tonight.  I like making them because they are a fast project.

I used Red Heart's Scrubby yarn and the colour is Candy.


I've never used Scrubby yarn before and I'd use it again.  I found it works really well for dishcloths because once the dishcloth was finished, it has a rough "scrubby" texture which will be great for washing dishes.  Yarn Canada has a really great selection of colours (that's where I got this one).


Red Heart has lots of patterns on their site for knitting and crocheting.  But because I've never worked with this yarn before, I used a pattern that I've done many times using cotton yarn.  It's fast and easy. I used 60 grams (the ball was 85 grams).
