The Yarn

As for the yarn, I used Lily’s Sugar’n Cream Cotton four weight yarn in Ecru & Jute. It is always a good idea to use a 100% cotton fiber when making dishcloths or washcloths, since they will hold up well to use and will need to be washed over and over.

Lily Sugar’n Cream

This yarn is made by Yarnspirations, and is a Weight 4 – Medium yarn.

Fiber: 100% Cotton
Yardage: 645 meters / 706 yards (varies)
Hook: 5 mm (H-8)
Substitute: Bernet Handicrafter

If you’d like to try a different color cotton yarn for your dishcloth, there are over 50 different colors available to pick from.

I picked these particular colors because I thought they would look great in almost any kitchen! Plus, I am a sucker for neutrals! 

Easy and Quick Washcloth Pattern

I think the best part of this crochet dishcloth is that there are minimal ends to weave in, which means less work! The pattern requires dropping and picking up the yarn as it is worked up, so you can put down that yarn needle for the most part!

I promise by the time you are finished with your dishcloth you will only have 4 yarn ends to sew in which makes it the perfect quick weekend project! I would suggest using a yarn needle to weave in your ends. It makes it so much easier to finish up.
