Thick Marguerite Stitch Cloth: Free Pattern in Three Sizes

The beautiful Thick Marguerite stitch makes for a PERFECT cloth in our 2020 Cloth Series. Whip up some cloths using this free crochet pattern in one of three sizes, or make all three!

Thick Marguerite Stitch Cloth

On the second Friday of every month throughout 2020 I share a NEW cloth pattern featuring a never seen before ( at least on Heart Hook Home 😉 ) stitch. I can not believe we are already HALF WAY through the year! I do hope you love this cloth as much as I do. The thickness of this stitch makes for excellent hot pads for the kitchen – assuming you use a cotton yarn which does not melt like acrylic would.

Cloth sizes:

5.5″ x 5.5″ – great for a face cloth or for showering

11″ x 11″ – average washcloth size

18″ x 12″ – dish drying mat, place mat, dusting cloth etc.

Materials:

Dishie Cotton (Kenai colorway pictured)
-approx. 40 yards for small
-approx. 142 yards for medium
-approx. 265 yards for large

In order to make all three of these cloths, I used about about two and a half skeins of the Dishie cotton yarn.

Crochet hook in size H/5mm

Gauge: 7 Thick Marguerite stitches x 5 Thick Marguerite stitch rows (incl sc rows) = 4″ square
