The Extended Moss crochet stitch sets the tone in this farmhouse Linen Love Dishcloth crochet pattern!
I have long been a fan of the extend moss stitch. It has a woven like texture that is the same on both sides, it is easy to work with satisfying results. And it looks wonderful in this rustic crochet dishcloth!
I love crocheting dishcloths. They make a great “in between” project as I am working on a larger one. They are practical as I use them around my own home, and they make great additions to gifts for my friends and families.
Several years ago as I sold my crochet items locally, they were always a requested item for custom makes and at markets, especially around the holidays. There are so many reasons to crochet dishcloths!
Our design today is simple in that it is all one solid texture, finished off with a simple half double crochet edging. The edging sets off the texture that makes up the design and gives it a nice clean finish.
I have worked my crochet dishcloths as a solid colour, but if you have some worsted weight cotton scraps or smaller amount lying around, I invite you to use these and make a scrappy crochet washcloth with multiple colours.
