Fairy Rings Dishcloth

It has been a while since I shared a dishcloth pattern.  This one came about mostly by accident.  I wondered what the herringbone half double stitch would look like in the round and discovered that I really like it!  The hhdc stitches are slightly compacted and raised up, which makes it perfect for scrubbing dishes or washing your face!

In the picture below, you can see that I tried one with the hhdc stitches (the fairy rings!) in a variegated and the dc stitches in cream.  I carried the yarns up the backside - a huge bonus for me since I dislike weaving in ends. I have also made some with just the outside "fairy ring" in a coordinating yarn.


Keep your eyes open, a coordinating Fairy Ring Face Scrubbie will be shared soon!  Updated to add Fairy Ring Face Scrubbie pattern.
