Cottage Dishcloth Crochet Pattern

The Cottage Dishcloth crochet pattern features a wonderful texture that is not too thick with a beautiful and delicate edging.

I am really loving making crochet dishcloths at the moment! They are a great break from working on larger projects such as blankets. They are also a great way to try out new crochet stitches.

The crochet stitch featured in the Cottage Dishcloth crochet pattern is called the Single Crochet Puff Stitch. It’s not a thick puff stitch however. It does have some texture to it, but it’s not too heavy or thick.

The edging is made up of single crochet stitches and delicate picot stitches. It’s a beautiful way to finish it off. I really look forward to adding these to my own crochet dishcloth collection and maybe whip up a few for my friends and family!

The Materials:

I mentioned it in my Country Dishcloth crochet pattern, a 100% cotton yarn is always the best when working up dishcloths. It is heat resistant, washes well and is tough. It also comes in an array of colours so your washcloths can match any home decor theme. For the Cottage Dishcloth crochet pattern will require about 130 yards of a worsted/medium weight cotton as well as a 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook. I did work my dishcloths in a solid colour but this pattern would be easy enough to change colours throughout or work the edging of the dishcloth in a different colour than that of the body.
