How to Crochet a Heart Dishcloth

To make a heart shaped dishcloth you will need two colors of yarn, a heart graph and a crochet hook.

You will also need to know how to single crochet, which is a basic beginner-friendly stitch.

Easy Steps to Crochet A Washcloth

1. Crochet the starting chain with your first color
2. Follow along with the heart graph, placing a single crochet where it indicates on the graph with the corresponding color.
3. When changing yarn colors, work a single crochet until almost complete, but join in the new yarn and bring the current working yarn to the front. You then finish the stitch with the new color yarn.
4. Finish with a border of single crochets twice around.

Step 4 is optional, but a border on a dishcloth gives it a nice clean edge, so it is a step I do recommend attempting.

The Yarn For a Heart Dishcloth

Dishcloths should be made with a cotton or cotton mix yarn, so it holds it shape and is easy to wash.

This dishcloth uses two different colors of a cotton blend yarn called Premier Home. Premier home is an 85% recycled cotton and 15% polyester mix. It works up easily over the hook and is durable because of the cotton fibers used.

The two colors of Premier Home used in this dishcloth to form the heart are listed below.

1. White
2. Grey Splash

You can find this yarn at premieryarns.com, Joanns or Amazon.
