Crochet washcloth patterns make the perfect beginner crochet project!
Crochet dishcloths and washcloths are such small, satisfying projects. Since they’re typically between 8 and 11 inches wide (give or take!), they’re small enough to be completed in one or two sittings.
That makes them perfect for learning to crochet, picking up a new crochet stitch technique, or just having fun and relaxing.
Here are a few of my all time favorite crochet dishcloth patterns that are all suitable for beginner crocheters.
