Washables and Wearables

Practice the crochet stitches you learn as you go through each lesson and turn those swatches into something practical while learning basic whipstitch seaming in the Sampler Dishcloth, which is perfect for daily use in either the kitchen or the bathroom. Once you’re comfortable with the stitches, pick out a fun new yarn in your favorite color to make a scarf perfectly sized to fit YOU!
