Symbiosis Corner to Corner Crochet Dishcloth Pattern

Corner to Corner Crochet Dishcloth Pattern

This sweet corner to corner crochet dishcloth pattern embraces the concept of symbiosis! Two beautiful colors pair nicely in this lovely project. The designer writes, "Most corals are naturally translucent, with white skeletons. They get their vivid colors from algae that grow inside their bodies. It’s just one of the many symbiotic relationships that make up the beauty of a coral reef." This washcloth pattern is inspired by that beautiful relationship. If you've never tried corner to corner, small projects are ideal for practicing new techniques! Give this one a try today.
