Welcome to the third part in my series of scrappy dishcloths. If you missed the other two you can find them here: Snippets & Scraps #1 and Snippets & Scraps #2. This has been my favorite "go-to" scrap yarn pattern over the past 3 years. For a fun scrappy face scrubby try this pattern: Snippets & Scraps Flower Facial Rounds
Be sure to check out other fun dishcloth designs from Grandma Duck.
This pattern is more of a method than an actual pattern, but there are three patterns included below. Gather up your supplies and follow along with the fun! This scrap method works for short lengths of yarn. When you reach the end of one scrap, add your next scrap yarn and continue working.
