Christmas Tree Knit Scrubby

Christmas Tree Knit Scrubby

There's no better way to thank the gracious hostess of the Christmas party than with a knit dishcloth. Up your game by making her a Christmas Tree Knit Scrubby. This is just the thing she'll be whipping out like clockwork every winter. The festive coloring will go with any Christmas decor, and the red garland wrapping around the knit washcloth is the cutest little touch that shows you really put your heart into the gift. Of course, you could just knit a few for yourself. Who could blame you? It's adorable!
