The Yarn That’s Perfect For Crochet Dishcloths
The patterns are worked in a Lily’s Sugar n’ Cream cotton yarn that is available in quite a bit of different colors.

I decided to make my dishcloths with some muted tones in sunshine, sage green, tangerine, and jute for mine. You are welcome to use whichever color matches the kitchen you are making them for.

Hi Krista,
I love the modern look of this pattern, but am having difficulty achieving this beautiful piece and have a couple of questions.
– Does each row end in a hdc?
– Is there a right side and wrong side to the pattern? If each row starts with a sc and ends in a hdc, it seems both sides look the same.
I tried to attach a photo, but was unsuccessful.
Thank you so much in advance for your help!
Sue
Hi Sue,
I am so glad you like this pattern! Each row ends with a HDC. The right side is the side you started your initial chain on.

Hi, just wondered if I could use actual jute twine to make these? Many thanks x
Hi Leona,
You could but I am not sure how they would wash up. 🙂 But I say go for it. 🙂
