Crochet dishcloths are such a great little project to make. They are quick, use up leftover yarn, and let you practice a new stitch to see how you like it. For this one, I wanted to try out this new stitch and it worked up great and I can see now where I might use this stitch in another project. This crochet dishcloth pattern is created with the mixed cluster stitch. It it really simple to use when you get into the groove. I found myself just zoning out and counting and then I was finished!
