Easy Lace Dishcloth

This was the result of my playing with my hook for a bit. You can take this lace and turn it into anything you like, a shawl, a shrug, a scarf, it is pretty and easy to make! It would also be a very handsome addition to a block afghan.

Note: If you would like to use it for a facecloth, use a cotton yarn instead, it is easier on the skin.
