This very simple crochet dishcloth pattern is an incredible option to give your kitchen a touch of color and spring vibes. You can make it to your own home, or you can make lots of crochet dishcloths as gifts to the special people in your life.

What is the best yarn to crochet washcloths?

The best yarn to crochet dishcloths in my opinion is 100% cotton yarn. Cotton yarn is more durable and that is perfect for a piece that you will wash several times.

Cotton yarn is also soft and can be found in a variety of colors. It is very absorbent yarn which is very important to the purpose it is made for.

What can I use a dishcloth for?

Dishcloths are very versatile, you can use them to wipe countertops, wash, and dry dishes, or do everything clean up related tasks. This is why cotton yarn comes in handy.

Material

100 cotton yarn
5.0mm hook
Scissors
Tapestry needle

I used Peach and Creme yarn but you can use any cotton yarn you have available or like.

The final measurements should be around 8 x 7.5 inches.

Stitches and Terminology

This pattern was written using US terminology. Here are the stitches you need to know to complete this project:

dc: double crochet
5 dc cluster
hdc: half double crochet
ch: chain
yo: yarn over
rep: repeat

How to crochet a 5 dc cluster step by step

Step 1 - Yo, insert the hook on the ch space, and pull up a loop.

Step 2 - Yo and pull through 2 loops (will be left with 2 loops on the hook).

Step 3 - Repeat step 2 for 5 times until you have 6 loops left on the hook.

Yo and pull through all 6 loops.

The (*) shows from where in the pattern you should start the repeat for the rest of the row or until the pattern indicates.

Let's start! Let's make a crochet dishcloth!

Row 1 (color 1): Ch 27

Row 2 (color 1): 26 hdc starting from the 2sd chain from the hook. (TURN)

Row 3 (color 2): 3 ch (counts as dc), skip 1, *V stitch (1dc, 1ch, 1dc), skip 2, (rep until you have 8 V stitches), skip 1, 1dc on the last stitch. (TURN)

Row 4 (color 3): 4 ch (3 counts as dc + 1), skip 1, *5 dc cluster, ch 2,* (rep until you have 8 clusters), skip 1, 1 dc on the last stitch. (TURN)

Row 5 (color 1): 2 ch (counts as hdc), work 1 hdc for each stitch from the previous row. (26 (TURN)

Repeat row 5 until row 19 or until you are satisfied with the length of your washcloth.

Finish: Fasten off and weave in the ends.
