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.


Ta Dah! face cloth, wash bag and lovely things. 
Full crafting order has been restored. Phew!

    Perfect! That makes the gift extra special now! The facecloth looks lovely with the soft green trim with the natural.
    I 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.

    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!

    Great idea. I saw where someone was making them and buying special soaps to give with them.

    A lovely gift! Life isn't too short for some things, stuffing mushrooms and peeling grapes perhaps! xx
