Star Dishcloths in Single Crochet (2 images)

[champygirl]

I been experimenting with the cotton yarn, I decided to see if I could make a star dishcloth with mainly just single crochet and no spaces. They're slightly wonky but I love the shape. I typed up the pattern for those who feel brave or just want to try a wonky star cloth. I've lost count of how many I've made, I just have fun making them.
