Everyday Textured Dishcloth Pattern

"## Everyday Textured Dishcloth Free Crochet Pattern The Everyday Textured Dishcloth is a free crochet dishcloth pattern featuring raised bobble stitches and a textured border. This square dishcloth is worked from the center out in joined, turned rounds. The finished dishcloth measures approximately 9.5 inches by 9.5 inches, making it a practical size for washing dishes, wiping counters, and everyday kitchen cleaning. I made my dishcloth using Lily Sugar'n Cream cotton yarn in Potpourri Ombre. This Medium Weight Yarn [4] is made from 100% cotton and is absorbent, durable, and machine washable. Cotton yarn is an excellent choice for kitchen dishcloths because it holds up well to regular use and cleaning. The pattern uses a 5 mm (H) crochet hook and approximately 83 yards (76 meters) of yarn. My finished dishcloth weighs approximately 47 grams, so you can make one using a standard 2 oz (56 g) ball of Lily Sugar'n Cream cotton yarn. The dishcloth begins at the center with a chain ring. You can also use a double magic ring (DMR) if you prefer a more secure center. From there, you'll work a combination of double crochet, single crochet, chain stitches, and bobble stitches to create the square shape. The bobble stitches add raised texture throughout the dishcloth. These stitches are made using a dc3tog worked into a single stitch. I've included a photo tutorial to help you make the bobbles and follow the stitch pattern. One of the features of this design is the final round of front post single crochet stitches. These stitches create a textured border that provides additional scrubbing power and helps the finished dishcloth maintain its shape. The pattern includes round-by-round photos so you can see how the dishcloth should look as you work through the instructions. This crochet dishcloth is a useful project for your own kitchen and also makes a practical handmade gift. You can make several in coordinating colors, pair them with handmade soap, or include them in a kitchen gift basket. The free Everyday Textured Dishcloth pattern includes a complete supply list, gauge information, finished measurements, helpful notes, written instructions using US crochet terminology, and a bobble stitch photo tutorial.
