I love using crochet cotton dishcloths. They are generally thicker than store bought ones and last a lot longer. My favorite cotton yarn to use is I Love This Cotton from Hobby Lobby. It is so soft and easy to work with. And in case you didn’t know – they have been putting all their yarn on sale for 30% off about every other week!

Here’s a simple pattern I created that works up super fast and can be made in any color.

White Cotton Ribbed Dishcloth

Stitches used (US terms):

• Chain – ch
• Double Crochet – dc
• Back Loop Only – blo
• Single Crochet – sc
• Slip Stitch – ss
