On the ninth day of 12 Days of DIY, I crocheted for you, a pancake sponge! Some of my favorite crochet projects to make are those that serve a purpose. Which is why I try to challenge myself to make crochet that you can use, a sponge! I have a dozen of Lily Sugar ‘N Cream skeins in a basket so I decided I wanted to make some sort of dishcloth or cleaning piece because that yarn is absorbent and can be easily cleaned. Why a pancake? Because I love pancakes! haha
