Which Yarn Is Best For Crocheting Sedge Stitch Dishcloths?
Cotton fibers are the only right answer when it comes to handmade kitchen accessories. Dishcloths will get wet most of the time, so you need yarn that absorbs water well.
A 100% cotton yarn, such as Peaches & Creme Original Solids, is a perfect choice because it’s durable, absorbent, and dries quickly. You can also use any other medium-weight cotton yarn that is accessible to you.
Does The Pattern Require Special Crochet Skills?
Not really. The pattern works up with the sedge stitch, which is a mix of basic stitches, including double crochet, half double crochet, and single crochet. It creates a dense fabric with a beautiful textural effect. The finished crochet dishcloths have a lumpy surface perfect for cleaning and scrubbing.
Can Sedge Stitch Dishcloths Be Made In Different Sizes?
Yes, they can. By modifying the stitch multiple in the foundation chain, you can produce a washcloth in any size you want. The samples visible in the photos were made with 29 chain stitches and are about 9” square.
