Is it necessary to block cotton yarn projects like dishcloths or dish towels if giving as gifts? If so how would you do that?

I would only block if there was a lacy design that need to show better or if the edges were not very straight. Blocking it out can help with any stitches that didn’t come out right. For cotton, it stretches quite a bit so just wet blocking it (get it wet, pin it and let it dry) would be perfect.
