Looking for a new crochet project? How about a classic kitchen towel, dishcloth, eco-towel, or whatever you prefer to call it!
They look too cute to use, right? I get it, but trust me—these cloths are great to keep on hand in your kitchen and really put to work!
This project is perfect for practicing new crochet stitches, counting and identifying stitch types, working in straight lines, and even adding a pop of color or a decorative edge.
You’ll love these kitchen cloths for how easy and quick they are to crochet, and they’ll soon replace those usual microfiber cloths we all have around.
Both designs are crafted with easy-to-memorize crochet stitches that are dense and textured for better liquid absorption and surface cleaning. These cloths are machine or hand-washable and can last over six months.
Feel free to adjust the size! Turn them into placemats, hand towels, trivets, or coasters. The possibilities are endless! What else can you think of?
The following pattern includes written instructions and diagrams to make a 10 x 9-inch (25 x 23 cm) dishcloth with ease.
