Ball-Band Dishcloth
I finished the Ball-Band Dishcloths I talked about some time ago as an unfinished project. I have no idea why they are called “ball band” discloths. Maybe it’s the pattern…
I used red and green Peaches & Cream cotton for potential Christmas use–though they are looking very pretty on top of my yarn pile at the moment. I got the pattern from Kay Gardiner and Ann Shayne’s MASON-DIXON QUILTING. But, as they note, the pattern is on the inside of the label of many of the P&C yarn balls.
Here’s what they look like:
I added the little braided end. It’s easier than weaving in all the loose ends.
These beauties hold up really well. I have some that are three years old now and going strong. As Gardiner and Shayne say: THEY MUST BE USED!!! Plus, they’re fun to make.
