Notes: This is a cute dishcloth that can be tied with a ribbon to look like a bouquet to give to a friend, it can be used as a bow on a shower gift, it can be sold at craft fairs, or used and put in a clay pot to dry on your
counter. Also this can be made larger by just adding 2 to the number I have highlighted on rounds 4-6. (Would make a cute dish drying matt.)
