I have been busy the last two weeks crocheting cotton dish cloth. I know they are easy to make and not very exciting. I started crocheting dish cloth because I did not have any sponge to wash my dishes, and I did not want to drive to the dollar store. I use, I think it is called the rib stitch, and I find the crochet dishcloth did a better job than the sponge. I am thinking I should sell some for Christmas. I am thinking, I should market them as environmentally friendly, and reusable. They can be hand wash and dry so they remove bacteria. While the sponge retains bacteria, because, it is not really washable like the dish cloth. Have you ever sold dish cloth? How much did you sell them for? What do you think of my idea?

I think this is a great idea & your items would sell well...I have sold a few of my knitted & cricheted creations & have never had any negative feed back once the item has been recieved. I would suggest you sell your items on craft sites like etsy as people buying on that site are looking for hand made goods...
To market them, I would simply describe them as you have here to us & also add the measurements...a picture too would be nice.
Could you please let me know your basic pattern & if you used crochet cotton or what ply wool & what size hook?

Thanks for the BR 
I hope you are able to sell your dish cloths... So if I use crochet cotton, I know I can do this...do you just make them in squares like you would for a blanket (start with a circle & turn it into a square) or do you just do rows? Also, do you think dc or tr would be better? Sorry for all the questions but I want to try & make some for myself.
