ZigZag Dishcloth ~

Free Crochet Pattern

This ZigZag Dishcloth is also known as the Chevron Stitch. It is soft and would be great to wash your face at the end of a busy day.  The ZigZag cloth is a great way to use up bits and pieces of cotton yarn as it looks great worked in rows of different colors or multi colors.
