Made in Lily Sugar'n Cream, But Strong Enough for Any Weight
Made in Lily Sugar'n Cream, as seen here, it's a great dishcloth, washcloth, or lightweight trivet for your table. And yes, black would be traditional, but Navy is what I had on hand!
Switch to Scrubby if you prefer that yarn, and you'll have a super cute dishwashing set! Or what about working your Spade Shaped Cloth and pals in thread or fingering weight yarn for a gorgeous set of trivets - or strung on a garland? Grab your biggest, fattest yarn, and you'll have wall decor for casino night!
Groovy Game Night Grannies
The Spade Shaped Cloth is really just a revamp and addition to the Heart Shaped Cloth and no more difficult. Even if you're newer to crochet, this pattern offers an easy-to-follow pattern, and step-by-step video tutorials to guide you will be added. Try it in worsted weight, and then have fun with it!
One of my favorite things to do is play Euchre with friends - and spending the night laughing! Here's hoping this free crochet pattern brings you the same smiles! Let's start stitching!
