Our washcloths are in a sorry state, and I have oodles of cotton yarn from a sale a while back. What do we need? New washcloths! What do I have? Cotton yarn! A new dishcloth or washcloth crochet pattern it is!
Dishcloth or Washcloth Crochet Pattern
Cotton works great because it holds up well, and you can wash it over and over and over again.
I used a simple single crochet, double crochet repeat for this pattern (otherwise known as the Lemon Peel stitch), giving it a textured look and feel that will come in handy while cleaning. Little scrubbies that will help get the gunk off but in a pattern that whips up within half an hour or less.
These would be an excellent addition to a baby shower gift basket, or as a housewarming gift etc. So quick, so easy! I prefer to use the Red Heart Scrubby Smoothie for my washcloths.
Materials:
Cotton yarn (Red Heart Scrubby Smoothie is my favorite)
Crochet hook, size H (this brand is my FAVORITE!)
Washcloth crochet Pattern:
Ch-35, sc in second ch from hook, dc in next. *Sc in next, dc in next* to end. Ch-1, turn. (34)
Rows 1-30 (or until square): sc in first st, dc in second. *sc in next, dc in next* to end. Ch-1, turn.
Fasten off, weave in ends.
That is IT! You could choose to single crochet around the dish/wash cloth to create a clean edge, but for me, seeing as this is a washcloth that I expect to get dirty and well used, I chose to forego the border. If I were giving them away as a gift, I would probably take the time to clean up the edges. I must admit, I like the look!
