Primrose Dishcloth Crochet Pattern

Primrose Dishcloth Crochet Pattern

Well, this certainly isn’t the sexiest crochet pattern but it sure is practical.

If you haven’t used crocheted dishcloths for doing your dishes, you’re missing out. They’re fabulous for scrubbing dirty dishes and many people I know swear by them. These dishcloths are workhorses and after using them, you’ll never go back to store-bought cloths.

For this crochet dishcloth pattern, I used this amazing “2nd Time Cotton” which has a little extra texture to it. This yarn is 75% recycled cotton and 25% acrylic – a fantastic blend for scrubbing and drying out a little faster than 100% cotton yarn. It’s also an opportunity to be a little bit eco-conscience and that’s never a bad thing.

This crochet pattern is relatively simple and will give you a chance to try out the lovely primrose stitch. It uses basic crochet stitches that are perfect for beginners.

Crochet washcloths and dishcloths also make a cute gift for friends and family. People can never have too many dishcloths – especially cute handmade crochet dishcloths like these ones!

There are just some things you can never have enough of and totes fall perfectly into that category.

Easy Crochet Can Cozy Pattern

There’s nothing better than sitting and watching the sunset by the beach while having a delicious cold beer or cider – especially when your crochet cozy is keeping your hands from getting cold and wet.

It’s become a weekend tradition around here and every Friday and Saturday, we’ll find our group of friends slowly sauntering down to the beach after dinner. We all bring our lawn chairs and cheers our drinks as we watch the sun slowly sink down behind the trees on the opposite side of the lake.

Ahhh, lake life is the best life.

Now if you’re going to have a few beverages, why not have crochet cozy’s around the cans to prevent your hands from getting chilly and damp. My first cozy pattern turned out so well, soon I was getting requests from all my friends to crochet can cozy’s for them too.

This is a really easy crochet project that you can complete in under an hour. You can keep it plain or spruce it up with different colors and stripes if you’d like. You have the power to customize this simple crochet pattern as you see fit.

Round 4: Ch1, 1sc in each st around, join with a sl st (use a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds).

Round 5 – 16: Repeat row 4 changing colors to make whatever design you prefer. Bind off and weave in ends.

Have fun with colors and creating stripes – change colors as you see fit. You can add stripes with a row of slip stitches once all the rows are complete (as I did in the blue and turquoise cozy).

Colorful Solid Granny Square Dishcloth Crochet Pattern

Another year of school has come to an end and I think it’s important to always give thanks to the amazing teachers who shape our child’s educational and extracurricular life.
