The other day I was looking around my kitchen at my very sad looking dishcloths. I’ve had them for a number of years and it shows. They have been well used by every member of my family. I set out to Target and Hobby Lobby to see if I could find replacements that would go with the colors in our home. The only dishcloths I came across were Thanksgiving and Christmas dishcloths. Since that wasn’t what I was looking for I decided to make some.

A few months back I bought this really cute blue and yellow yarn from Hobby Lobby when they were having a sale. Since it’s made with 100% cotton yarn I decided that I would use it to create this really cute textured crochet dishcloth. I absolutely love the way it turned out. The colors are perfect for our home and the waffle stitch gives it a unique look and feel.

This dishcloth pattern is simple to make. Plop down in your favorite spot and turn on your favorite streaming site, show, and get to crocheting. You will have a matching set in no time. These crochet dishcloths make a fantastic gift too. Fold them up and tie with a bow and you have the perfect crochet gift any time of the year. You can even mix up the yarn colors to compliment any upcoming holiday or season.

Let’s get started on this cute Crochet Dishcloth Pattern!

Crochet Dishcloth Size: 12″ wide x 19″ long.

What you will need:

Yarn: I love This Yarn in the color Moonlit Frost. You will need approximately 1 skein or 180 yards to make one dishcloth. If you want to make your crochet dishcloth longer you will need more skeins. <a href=”http://<a href=”https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1026079&u=3175406&m=72611&urllink=&afftrack=”>Lion Brand Yarn Lion Brand also has beautiful Cotton Yarns that would work perfect for this dishcloth.

Crochet Hook: 5.5mm crochet hook. I’m obsessed with these crochet hooks that have the rubber handles. If you can’t find them in stores you can purchase it through the highlighted link.

Other Supplies: Yarn needle and craft scissors. You can purchase both of these through the highlighted links.

Special Stitches: FPDC (front post double crochet), YO (yarn over) and insert hook in the gap between the stitches from the front of the project, bring your hook around the back of the stitch and through the next gap between stitches. You should have a stitch laying over the top of your hook. YO and pull through behind the stitch on top of your hook. You now have 3 loops on your hook, YO and pull through 2 loops, YO again and pull through the last 2 loops on your hook. You’ve just created your first FPDC.

Note: Chain 2 at the beginning of each row counts as a stitch.

Abbreviations: CH (chain), SC (single crochet), DC (double crochet), FPDC (front post double crochet), YO (yarn over), SLST (slip stitch).

Dishcloth Pattern:

Row 1: CH 47, DC (double crochet) in the 3rd CH (chain) from the hook. Place 1 DC in each remaining chain. CH 2 and turn your work. At the end of row 1 you should have a total of 46 double crochet. Remember the stitches you skipped at the beginning counts as your first double crochet.

Row 2: Place 1 DC in the next 2 stitches (the chain 2 at the beginning counts as a stitch), FPDC (front post double crochet)in the next stitch, *DC in the next 2 stitches, FPDC in the next*. Repeat all the way to the end. Your last stitch with be a FPDC (going around the post of the very last stitch). CH 2 and turn your work. You should still have a total of 46 stitches at the end of row 2.

Row 3: *FPDC around the first stitch, FPDC around the next stitch, DC in the next stitch*. Repeat all the way to the end. Your last stitch will be a DC into the top of the CH 2 from the previous round. At the end of row 3 you will still have 46 stitches.

Row 4: Repeat rows 2 and 3 until your project is as long as you want it to be. I stopped when my project was 19″ long. You can make yours as long as you wish, just remember you will need more than one skein of yarn if you do. Do not fasten off your yarn at the end. We will continue around the project with our boarder.

Let’s work on the boarder!

Round 1: Place 2 SC (single crochet) in the corner stitch of your last row (where you yarn is still attached), Place 1 SC in each stitch along the top. Next place 3 SC in the corner space. *Place 1 SC in the next stitch, 2 SC in the next stitch* all the way down the side of the crochet dishcloth. Place 3 SC in the corner space, 1 SC in each stitch along the bottom, 3 SC in the corner space, *1 SC in the next stitch, 2 SC in the next stitch* until you come to the last corner. SLST (slip stitch)to the top of your first SC. CH 1, do not turn your work.

Round 2: Place 3 SC in the corner space. Next place 1 SC in each stitch until you come to the next corner space. You will then place 3 SC in that corner space, and 1 SC in each stitch. Repeat all the way to the end placing 3 SC in the remaining corner space and 1 SC in each additional stitch. SLST to the top of the first SC. Fasten off your yarn and weave in your ends.

That’s it! You just made a really cute crochet dishcloth that’s perfect for your kitchen or even your bathroom. This crochet dishcloth will make the perfect gift anytime of the year. Change up the yarn colors to match any season or holiday! Cute Gift Idea: Make several and neatly fold, tie with a ribbon, and pair with this simple pot holder pattern and you’ve got a great gift to give that special someone!
