If you know one thing about me after reading my blog it might be that I make a lot of dishcloths! You would be right - I certainly do! I enjoy crafting practical things like blankets, hats, and scarves. But my favorite thing to crochet is dishcloths. I also like to use dishcloths to test new stitches or stitch combinations.The finished product has a bit of stretch and drapes nicely. It's perfect for wiping counters.

Happy Stitching!

These look great.... so much better than the ones with the fancy stitches
ReplyDeleteI've made more dishcloths with this pattern than any other. I'd love to see a picture if you make one!
DeleteThank you!
DeleteLove the name Grandma Duck. It's so darn cute. She's your duckling. Memories between you will be keepsakes forever.
ReplyDeleteFor a long time she thought "duckling" was her middle name. :)
DeleteI followed your pattern for this washcloth so many times. Everytime I do the gaps really gap. It looks floppy. I used peaches and creme 100% cotton yarn. I tried an H and F hook. It doesn't make a difference. Should I use a yarn that is not 100% cotton. Like maybe mostly cotton, but not entirely? If so, will the absorbency be the same?
ReplyDeleteHow many ch stitches are you doing?
DeleteI've used yarn that is mostly cotton with success. I didn't notice a difference in absorbency.
Thank you Shelli for this pattern. I love it! I do pot holders with the magic pot holder pattern and I do the hangers to stuff the towel through. But I love doing dish rags this pattern is kind of what I’ve been looking for. It doesn’t eat up yarn. And it’s not so heavy after you make it that it’s sours right away. Thanks again for sharing
ReplyDeleteThank you! I also like that it has just a bit of stretch to it.
DeleteLove this pattern!How many rows do you do when making your dishcloth?
ReplyDeleteI crochet until the dishcloth is square. I never have counted the rows.
DeleteWhat type of yarn is best? All cotton or other fibers ok?
ReplyDeleteFor dishcloths, use a cotton or cotton blend that is designed for dishcloths. Some dishcloth yarn is mostly cotton but adds other fibers. Stay away from mercerized cotton since it isn't nearly as absorbent as regular kitchen cotton yarn.
DeleteWhat yarn did you use on the denim pot holder in the picture.
ReplyDeleteI have a cone of this: Premier Yarns Home Cotton Yarn-Multi Cone-Denim Splash, Blue
DeleteLove this pattern…so fast and easy! I’ve made a hundred or more!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! I'd love to see some pictures!!
DeleteLove this stitch!!! Can't wait to try it! Also love that you get right to pattern! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt's one of my absolute favorites!
