You'd definitely love this dishcloth in your kitchen. Aside from helping you out with the chores, its darling appearance is enough to make it a conversation starter or a decor in your home. Or, you can crochet some and give them out as gifts for very special occasions. Start with a few today with our free pattern below or get the ad-free printable PDF pattern here.
This post is late coming but each year, at the end of the school year, I like to make gifts for all of Noelle’s teachers and coaches. It’s a little tradition I started a few years ago and have now grown fond of. I’ve had a lot of very sweet comments from my daughter’s teachers expressing gratitude for receiving something handmade and personal. One of my favorite gifts is my handmade soap accompanied with crocheted washcloths.
This is a perfect opportunity to test out a new crochet stitch pattern so this year I created these very pretty dishcloths using a stitch I’ve been wanting to try, the tulip stitch. It has a really beautiful repetitive pattern with a lovely bumpy texture. I've included a step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial so that you'll be extra clear on this stitch pattern.
If you enjoy crocheting simple shapes like rectangles made in dishcloth patterns, you may want to check out our Crochet Anything with Rectangles class where you'll take the basic shape you already have down pat and turn it into useful, practical, and beautifully professional projects.
As with many crochet dishcloth patterns, this is an easy pattern and moves along quickly once you get past the first couple of rows. The single crochet and double crochet stitches are basic, it’s just a matter of getting the stitches in the right place. I've also included a step-by-step tutorial to help make things really easy to understand.
Not only can you use this pattern as a dishcloth, but it also makes a great crochet washcloth as well. The crochet pattern is made with a cotton blend yarn so it also feels great on your skin.
I hope you enjoy this sweet little crochet pattern as much as I do. Happy hooking!
