Over the past two years we’ve featured many different home decor items from Dianoche Designs. Today we’re going to introduce you to their beautiful and unique placemats. One of the coolest things about their place mats is that you can order just 1, set of 2, set of 4, set of 6, set of 8, etc. While most of us order an EVEN number of placemats, I like the idea of ordering a single and keeping it on-hand in case you need it.
Their placemats are made in the U.S.A. and come in the standard 18″ by 13″ size. You can machine wash and tumble dry on low. Easy clean-up! There are hundreds of different designs and styles to choose from. Something for every decor style!
I don’t know about you…but I change out my table linens every few weeks. I like my linens to reflect the various holidays and seasons of the year. If you’re like me…you’re going to love all of the different designs that they carry.

During the winter season I enjoy sitting down and working on a few crochet and knitting projects. I like to make handcrafted hats, scarves, dishcloths, ponchos, doilies and afghans to name just a few. I first learned to crochet and knit when I was 14 years old as we had to make our own hats, gloves and scarves. That’s how it was done back in the good old days. I’m now 69 and still enjoy making those type’s of things.

One thing that I really enjoy making are handcrafted dishcloths. I like to hand them out as little gifts to my friends and I use them in my own home when washing dishes. Here’s how I make them.
Crochet Scrubby Sparkle Dishcloth Pattern
Crochet Hook Size H
Red Heart Scrubby Sparkle Yarn
Red Heart 100% Cotton Yarn
Scissors
Abbreviation: SC = Single Crochet
You will want to pick out the same color or complimentary colors when choosing your two yarns. When making these dishcloths you’ll be using both yarns at the same time while crocheting. That’s why you need the “bigger” sized crochet hook, so I recommend Size H.
Start off by making 18 chain stitches. Turn by SC in the second chain from your hook and then in each chain across. Chain 1, turn and then SC in each stitch across. You will want to repeat that until your desired length. I typically will make 19-20 rows. Fasten off and hide the end of your yarn tail in a few of the stitches. Use scissors to trim. Super easy!
I like to use the Red Heart Scrubby Sparkle Yarn which adds a little bit of a scrubby texture to the dishcloth to make scrubbing your dishes, pots and pans a lot easier! Its one of the best scrubby yarns out in the retail marketplace and you can find it in a ton of different colors.
Once completed your new crochet dishcloths are machine wash and dry. The more you use them, the softer they get.
