FREE PATTERN #5 - CREEMSICLE SCRUBBER One-Ounce Dishcloth

ONE-OUNCE SCRUBBER

Creemsicle Style

The sight of orange and white yarn in the scrap basket triggered the cool summer taste of popsicles and those dreamy orange-covered ice cream bars.  Makes my mouth water.
So when I started thinking of a way to combine the colors and still use only one-ounce of yarn, I had to come up with a pattern that would make you think of summer and sunshine.
So ruffles it is with a solid ribbed center.  Yum.

Of course you can do the pattern in one ounce of your favorite color or leftover scraps.
You'll soon find these are your favorite kitchen cloths for getting glasses and jars clean.
