This beautiful crochet dishcloth pattern by Dedri Uys is made using a linen stitch, which makes a very dense fabric and is one of the easiest stitches to learn. You can easily make dishcloths which not only will be useful, but also will give your kitchen a nice and refreshed look. It is also a good idea for a simple but lovely gift for a friend!
Yarn & Hook for Making a Practical Dishcloth
For this crochet dishcloth pattern, use a cotton yarn like Patons Smoothie or mercerized cotton. These types of yarn are durable, absorb water well, and make stitches stand out. The designer combines a 5.5 mm crochet hook with a DK-weight cotton yarn.
Mastering the Linen Stitch
The Linen Stitch is an easy and elegant crochet stitch. Unlike regular stitches, where you work into the loops, the Linen Stitch involves working into the chain spaces between single crochet stitches. This gives a woven look with a staggered effect, adding rich texture without making the fabric bulky.
How to Care for Your Linen Stitch Dishcloth
Taking good care of your Linen Stitch Dishcloth will keep it soft, absorbent, and long-lasting. Because cotton yarn tends to shrink, it’s best to wash your dishcloths in cold or lukewarm water and let them air dry. If you prefer using a dryer, use a low-heat setting to avoid too much shrinkage.
