Dishcloths

I had some left over yarn, so I decided to try and make dishcloths.  I have never made them before. The problem is I didn't really care for any of the patterns.  After deciding to make a simple single crochet cloth, I realized that the hook I was using was - again - too small.  
It was the right size for the pattern, but the wrong size for me.  My stitches tend to come out smaller.  To make up the difference I added edging.  I really liked the design, so I kept the basic chain, made the main part of the cloth in a double crochet and then edged to bring it to the measurements I needed.  In the picture, neither cloth has been blocked.
