Double sided dishcloths are so nice to use when scrubbing in the kitchen.
They will fit in your hand like a sponge or brillo pad. So you know this Christmas tree dishcloth scrubby is going to fit inside a glass or jar.
This crochet Christmas tree dishcloth scrubby has Red Heart Scrubby sparkle yarn as the snow puffs, on the boughs of the Christmas tree.
I love adding a bit of scrubby yarn to my dishcloths. It turns an ordinary dishcloth into a scrubby that will help you get the stuck on grime, off of your dishes and pots and pans.
I sometimes use affiliate links in my posts. This won’t cost you anything, but will help offset the cost of yarn and other supplies needed, so that I can continue bringing you crochet patterns and craft ideas. Thank you so much for your support.
