Create this beautiful crochet shamrock dishcloth (and pot of gold dishcloth) or potholder (directions for both)!
The dishcloths are made with 100% cotton yarn, following a simple chart.
Directions are for both dishcloths and can be combined to make a beautiful potholder.
The final dishcloth measures approx. 7.5 X 7.5″.
