Fall Farmhouse Crochet Tea Towel & Dishcloth Pattern
The Fall Farmhouse Tea Towel Pattern makes for a great housewarming or holiday gift! Trust me, if you make up a bunch of these for your own kitchen, all of your guests will want them too! Be sure to keep this pattern handy for the holiday season!
The inspiration for this project came from Joanna Gaines Hearth and Hand Home line at Target. I love her combination of cream and denim and wanted to make something that would go along with the beautiful items from her line.
