How to crochet easy dish cloths – you will be able to whip a few up in an evening! This pattern uses a simple textured stitch – double crochet and single crochet, so it is perfect for beginners.
I love how cheerful they look in bright colours. You only need small amounts of cotton yarn in worsted weight (aran weight) so have a look through your stash and see what you can find!
Plus the latest updates from Annie Design Crochet!
Crochet dish cloths (you could also use them as wash cloths) make lovely gifts – just add a nice bar of soap and some wrapping, and you have a very welcome gift for a house warming, a birthday present or a teacher gift.
They are an easy crochet project to pop in your bag and crochet a few rows when out and about.
