You’re going to love this crochet pattern that looks so much like a Sea Star! Designed in honor of Independence Day, July 4th, by Elizabeth Ann White, this Little Star Dish Cloth or Wash Cloth is a gorgeous pattern for pretty dishcloth, bath cloth and facecloth.

You’re going to love this pattern even more when you’ll realize that you use up smaller scraps on the centers. In the right colors, they could be used at Christmas, too!

Think of it as a fun idea for homemade gifts this year. A little handmade facecloth is a perfect addition to any skin spa gift set.
