Easy Crochet Dishcloth Patterns for Beginners

This simple, beginner friendly and fast working free crochet dishcloth pattern will quickly become one of your favorite crochet patterns! If you hate (or strongly dislike) cleaning like me then this may make it a little more fun!

The simple combination of stitches creates a lovely bumpy texture that is perfect for cleaning messes in the kitchen. For this particular pattern, I used Lily’s Sugar’n Cream cotton yarn in Ecru & Jute.

These colors would look great in almost any kitchen! Plus, I am a sucker for neutrals! 😉

Minimal Ends to Weave In

I think the best part of this crochet dishcloth is that there are minimal ends to weave in. The pattern requires dropping and picking up the yarn as it is worked up so that means minimal ends to work in! 🙂

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.
