If you’re looking for a quick and easy crochet dishcloth that’s perfect for everything from scrubbing dishes to a washcloth, you’ve got to try this easy and free crochet dishcloth pattern!

A border of half double crochet ribbing surrounds plain flat stitches in the middle for a really nice texture frame. You’ll love how it looks when you’re done!

Here’s everything you’ll need to make one:

Materials

H/5.0mm Crochet Hook – I prefer working with my Furls Streamline Metal or Furls Odyssey when I use cotton yarn.

1 skein Premier Home Cotton, worsted [4] weight, 100% Cotton yarn, 1.94 oz/55g; 96yds/88m, shown in Driftwood colorway.

If you want to use stash yarn, any worsted weight cotton yarn will do! I have made other crochet dishcloths with Lily Sugar ‘n Cream, or even crochet washcloths with Knit Picks Dishie.

You’ll also need a yarn needle to weave in your ends.

Abbreviations

Ch- chain; Hdc- half double crochet; Lp- loop; St(s)- stitch(es);

Gauge / Finished Size

7 sts and 5.5 rows in 2” square.

Dishcloth measures 8.5” square after light blocking.

Special Stitches

3rd loop HDC: Looking at the front and back loops on top, roll the stitch away from yourself, you’ll see a third loop appear.  Work stitches into this loop.

Notes

Worked flat in turned rows.

Turning chains do NOT count as a stitch throughout.
