Gifting
I always thought life was too short to make a face cloth, I like to admire all of yours from afar and appreciate the effort, but I have always thought: not me. Last night I was getting a birthday present ready to wrap and it bothered me that there was nothing homemade about it, lovely as it was. Do you know what it needed? mmmm... yes I thought so too.
So I cast on 30 chains and did three rows of double crochet and then changed to half trebles until I reached a squarish shape then did 3 more rows of double crochet. I have been wanting to practise a reverse dc or crab stitch for a while now to show at my classes so I added one here.

Perfect! That makes the gift extra special now! The facecloth looks lovely with the soft green trim with the natural.
ReplyDeleteI made a couple of facecloths too, a few months ago, they were verysatisfying and quick to make.

It's lovely, Jo. It's a very sweet and thoughtful gift, even more so with something handmade added.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet little addition to the gift and such a good colour match

I generally have the same thoughts as you had about a facecloth but that is so brilliant! The colours you have used make it just the perfect addition to the gift-what a fabulous idea and thanks for the details- I want to make one!
