Hi friends,

Crochet dishcloths are always a great little project to stitch up in between those bigger creations. 🧶 I stitched up some fun Crunch Stitch Dishcloths in Patriotic colors to use all Summer.

I used I Love This Cotton yarn in Red, White, and Royalty with an H/5mm crochet hook to stitch up my dishcloths. You can find the pattern below along with links to free PDFs – one with photos and one without – if you’d like to easily print it.
