Pancake Plush Sponge ♥ Crochet Pattern

Some of my favorite crochet projects are those that serve a purpose. This is why I try to challenge myself to crochet something that you can use, like this pancake plush sponge! This pattern requires cotton yarn. Cotton yarn is absorbent, so you can make kitchen and bathroom rags with it and simply pop them in the washing machine and dryer. Originally, I wanted to make a dishcloth, but I ended up making a sponge instead! lol
If you crochet this project, you can post it on Ravelry or tag me @mooeyscrochet so that I can see your creation. If you would like to support me in making this crochet pattern available for free, you can send me a Ko-fi.
