Bramble Dishcloth Crochet Pattern

Grab some cotton yarn and a crochet hook because the Bramble Dishcloth crochet pattern is a great, quick weekend crochet project!

One can never have too many crochet dishcloths. If you have been following me for a bit, you know that I love them. They are such a great way to practice new crochet stitches and use up smaller amounts of cotton yarn.

The Bramble Dishcloth crochet pattern is created using a stitch pattern that I shared with you only a few weeks ago: The Bramble Stitch. This stitch pattern is created using a couple of really great textured stitches including a crossed half double crochet and a herringbone stitch. If you are not familiar with these stitches, don’t worry! I will help you along the way with the free video tutorial below.

What Materials do you need to make this crochet dishcloth?

You will want to work your crochet dishcloths in a 100% cotton yarn. Cotton yarn is really the best for dishcloths as it holds up well to multiple washes and it is resistant to heat and maintains its shape. It also comes in a lot of fun colours and is readily available at most stores where you buy your favourite yarns.

Today, in my photos and the free video tutorial below, I will use the Pima Cotton by Lion Brand Yarn to make the Bramble Dishcloth crochet pattern. It is a wonderfully soft cotton yarn.

I will also be using a 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook. In the video below you will see me using one of my favourites: A Birchwood hook by Rowan Yarns.

I wrote a book!
