My Favorite Crochet Dishcloth
Simple and easy to follow, my favorite crochet dishcloth features the moss stitch to create a beautiful dishcloth! Enjoy this free crochet dishcloth!
The dishcloth measures approx 6.5″ X 6.5″. You can make the dishcloth smaller or larger by chaining less or more chains at the beginning (the number needs to stay even).
Materials:
- Size G hook
- 100% cotton yarn (I used 1 ball Lily’s Sugar N’ Cream 2.5 oz skein, 1 skein will make 2 dishcloths)
- blunt needle
Abbreviations:
ch= chain
sc= single crochet
st(s)= stitch(es)
hk= hook
The Pattern:
Ch 30
Row 1: Sc in second ch from the hk, ch 1, *skip next st, sc in next, ch 1*, repeat from * ending with a sc.
Row 2: Ch 1, sc in first gap space between the two single crochets from the previous row, ch 1, *sc in next gap, ch 1*, repeat from * ending with a sc.
Repeat row 2, 22 more times.
Edging: Ch 7, sl st in same st. Continue to sc around the dishcloth with 2 sc in each of the 3 corners. After sc the last row, sl st in the same st that you made the loop.
Sc 7 times into the loop and sl st in the same stitch again and fasten off. Weave in end.
Enjoy your new dishcloth!

I think this would be the perfect dishcloth to teach my granddaughter to crochet. Thank you very much.
You’re welcome! That is so nice for you to do together, I hope she enjoys making it!
What’s this stitch called?
Hi, the stitch is the moss stitch 🙂
The pattern doesn’t say turn at end of row. Do you turn?
Yes, you turn after each row.
A friend in Wisconsin asked me to make her dish clothes. I made her four and mailed them, She then asked me if I could make some for her grandson so he could give them to his mother for Christmas. I made four more different colors and mailed them. Now she wants to learn how to crochet . Thank You M from Ct.
That is wonderful Maureen! Thanks for sharing!
