Holiday-themed washcloths are a lot of fun because they allow you to add a little bit of whimsy to your decor without a lot of work. This clever design -- the Heart Washcloth by Eileen Casey -- takes advantage of color pooling in a multicolored yarn.

But the ombre effect of the yarn made a background that looks like two people who are about to kiss, which just adds to the "awww..." factor at this time of year.
A washcloth may not seem like a bold act of love, but stitch one up and give it to a pal with some spa goodies and he or she will want to be your Valentine forever. Especially if there's chocolate involved.
