- Hi! I've had a few friends ask me how I make crochet dishcloths so I created this easy-to-follow video to share with them. I thought I would share it with you too! Even if you've never crocheted before I think you'll be able to follow along just fine. The pattern is written out below. Let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thanks!!! ~Cindy

My Favorite Crochet Cotton Dishcloth
Materials Needed:
Worsted weight cotton yarn (1 ball of yarn will yield several dishcloths)
Size H/8 (5.00 mm) crochet hook
Darning needle
Chain 29 stitches.
Row 1: Single Crochet (SC) in 2nd chain stitch from hook, and in each chain across. At end of the row, Chain 1 stitch, and turn. (Should have 28 stitches).
Row 2: SC in the back loop of the 1st stitch. Then SC in the front loop of the next stitch. Continue stitching across the row alternating between the back loop and the front loop. At the end of the row, Chain 1 stitch, and turn.
Repeat Row 2 for approximately 18 rows, or until the dishcloth is square. Remember that you can fold the fabric diagonally to see if it is square.
Last Row: When the fabric is the length you want, SC in every stitch (going through both loops of the previous rows of SC.
Cut the yarn leaving a 6” tail and either pull the tail through the loop on your hook OR enlarge the loop on your hook and pull the ball of yarn through it. Either way will lock in your stitches.
Thread the darning needle with the ending tail and weave through a few stitches to stabilize the tail. Then repeat for the beginning tail. Trim the ends.
These cotton dishcloths can be tossed into the washer and dryer with your regular towels. They will shrink a little but will serve you well for a long time.
I hope you enjoy making these and hopefully you can share some with others. Be blessed friends!!!

Hi Friends! I just posted a new video on how to make a crocheted edging on a dish cloth. Check it out and let me know what you think!!! Blessings!!! th-cam.com/video/HBxGXiP_B_w/w-d-xo.html
Have you tried the scrubology yarn for this pattern I think im going to do some experiment with it I love the rotation of front loop back loop
@@krazymammaw3040 If you try that yarn let me know how it goes for you. I am not familiar with it. Blessings!!! ❤️
@@krazymammaw3040 I’m not sure what you’re asking. How many stitches I do for the border? If so, I just work around the dish cloth like I discussed in the Crochet Border Video. Let me know if you have more questions after watching it. Thanks again for watching and commenting. Blessings!!! ❤️

I’ve been crocheting passively for 20 years and you are the 1st person to describe the turning row comprehensively “pull on the yard, that is NOT your chain, go to the next one” THANK YOU SO MUCH‼️
I am so glad you found that helpful! Crocheting can be confusing, so I like to find simple ways of explaining things. I hope you are enjoying whatever you are crocheting right now! And thank you so much for watching and also for taking the time to leave me such a kind note!!! Blessings!!! ❤️
Cindy, I just started crocheting the last couple of weeks and I don't believe I have seen anyone that is more thorough than you. I see you haven't put out any more tutorials and I just wanted to to encourage you to please do it. I absolutely love how you explain... thank you so much!!!
Awww thank you so much!!! You are so kind!!! I am so glad you found my video helpful! Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave me such a kind and generous comment!!! I am hoping to share another video soon!!! Blessings!!! ❤️
Thank you thank you thank you.
Clear simple instruction.
No music. No distraction.
Right to the point.
Be blessed.
I’m so glad you found it helpful! Thank you for watching and commenting!!! Blessings!!! ❤️
Best crochet video I have seen for beginners: clear video, audio and instructional details.
Oh I am so glad you found the video helpful! That makes me so happy!! Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave me such a kind note!!! Blessings to you!!! ❤️
Thankyou, this was the easiest tutorial I found on TH-cam. I am an absolute beginner and proud of my wonky, yet functional dish cloth ❤️
I am proud of you too!!! That’s awesome!!! And I am so glad the video helped and I so appreciate you watching it and commenting!!! I hope you have a fantastic day!!! Blessings!!! ❤️
You're a great instructor!! Slow where I need it, fast forward, also where needed!! Can't wait to get started. Thank you 😊
I'm so glad it was helpful!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!!! Blessings!!!
You are a good teacher. Thank you. I’ve gotten discouraged in the past in making my side edges straight. You have shown me what I was doing wrong. I’m so happy. I am self taught. I can’t make sense of patterns so I take things apart and see if I can figure it out. However getting the outside edges straight has been very difficult. Thank so much for your clear directions. I happened onto your video accidentally this morning and I’ve happily subscribed. 😊
Oh I am so glad that you found my video helpful!!! I am self taught as well so you can do it! I have faith in you! Just keep crocheting. And have fun along the way. Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave me such a kind note! I appreciate you! Blessings!!! ❤️
You are a very good teacher. I have watched many other tutorials and I have to say that your instructions are as good as they get!! I accidentally came across your channel, watched it and then I had to subscribe!! This is great!! Thank you so much!!
Oh thank you so much!!! I'm so glad you found it helpful!!! Thank you for watching and for taking the time to leave such a kind comment!!! I hope you have a blessed day!!!
This was the best video I’ve come across for a beginner like me. Thanks for sharing!
I am so glad it was helpful!!! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!!! Blessings!!!
Isn't great to find a great tutorial you can actually understand?
You might consider pulling the yarn from the center. Pulling from the side as you are causes the strands or plys to unwind. That is what causes the thin parts of the yarn. Hope it is ok to say this. Been crocheting and knitting for 60 years. Learned this in a class .
Thank you for sharing! Yes, that is the better way, but sometimes it is tricky to find the end that pulls from the center. So I try to just make it work either way. Enjoy crocheting!!! Blessings!!! ❤️
I like how you teach us and you don’t go to fast. The video image is clear. Thank you... I am from Canada and speak French and understand everything.
Thank you so much!!! I'm so glad it was helpful for you and you were able to understand it!!! Thank you for watching and commenting!!! Blessings!!!
Love this tutorial! Super easy to follow and my wash cloths look great!😊
Very well explained, thank you for such a detailed explanation , especially where it gets confusing. Very very helpful and I can't wait to try !!!
I am so glad you found it helpful!!! Please reach out if you have any questions! Thanks for watching and for your kind comment!!! Blessings!!! ❤️
Loved this video! So easy to understand and you showed us exactly what to do! Thanks!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you watched it and found it helpful!!! Hope you have a blessed day!!! ❤️
I've been struggling to find a good beginner video. Thank you for taking the time to show the stitches and exactly where to put the crochet hook. So glad I found this!! I can't wait to start crocheting 😊
I am so glad it was helpful for you!!! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!!! Blessings to you and yours!!!
My struggle has been exactly where to put stitches/insert hook. She cleared this up for me better than any of the gazillion videos I've watched!
@@karyncooney8354 I am so glad it was helpful for you!!! Crochet can be hard to understand at times but I try to make things easy! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Blessings to you!!! ❤️
❤thank you blesses to all

I have a problem making th washcloth into a square yikes
Excellent tutorial for beginners but us “oldies” can benefit from the lesson. Thanks!
I am so glad you found it helpful! I like going back and reviewing the basics from time to time. I think it makes us even more efficient and well-rounded! Thank you for watching and for commenting!!! Blessings to you!!!
I've crochet for along time but I'm not good reading pattern so I find You Tube tutorial like your and I write it down where I understand. I'm on my 2nd dishcloth tonight. Love it 💖. Thank you and God bless.
That makes me SO happy!!! I had a precious aunt and she could not read crochet directions either although she loved to crochet. So I would help her with the directions so she could crochet. Thank you so much for reminding me of this sweet memory!!! I'm thankful you enjoyed the video and commented!!! Blessings to you!!!
This is the best tutorial I've seen so far. I've watched a few trying to just do 1 project and I think see how to count them is what I needed.
I am so glad you found this helpful! And I so appreciate your kind words! I hope you enjoy making the dish cloths. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful note!!! Blessings!!! ❤️
This is my first time that I got it in the first try. I have tried many tutorials and have gotten stuck. Thank you for helping me out. I crochet for people in need whether they are in a nursing home, women's shelters or unhoused people. This is my ministry and I truly love it.

Calming learning experience.
Thx u 🙏🏾

Thanks for your tutorial. I actually measure the same way by folding. 🙂
You are so welcome!!! It makes it so easy to measure like that, doesn't it? I like to find little shortcuts that don't undermine the integrity of things. Thank you for watching and commenting!!!
This was superb video! I needed to refresh my crochet skills before I teach my granddaughter how to make dishcloths like my mother always used! Her major chore at the end of the day is kitchen clean-up and maybe she'll "enjoy" it more with dishcloths made together. Thank you for your calm clarity about every detail from yarn to hook and first chain to finish sinking the ends. Great video skills!
Oh I love that! That sounds like a lovely and practical way to help your granddaughter enjoy her chores a bit more!!! She is so blessed to have you in her life!!! I am so glad you watched the video and found it helpful! Blessings to you!!! ❤️
Thank you for a very easy to follow video. You explained everything fully and in a way that a beginner like me can easily follow
I am so glad you found the video helpful!!! That means so much to me that you took the time to write me such a kind message. Thank you so much!!! Blessings to you!!! ❤️
I have never crocheted before in my life. I wanted to learn specifically to make dishcloths and because my teen wants to make bags so I am trying to learn the terminology so I can help her. Thank you so much for a clear, easy video!! I’ve got 3 rows done and feel confident with your video that I’ll be able to finish!
I am so thrilled you are taking the time to learn how to crochet and also help your daughter as well! That is so wonderful! And what precious memories you are making! Thank you for watching and for taking time out of your day to leave me such a kind note! Keep crocheting and finding joy in the little things! Blessings!!! ❤️
I enjoyed your tutorial, you’re very precise! Thank you so much
Oh thank you so much!!! You are very kind!!! Thank you for watching and commenting!!! Blessings to you!!!

I made a comment previously, but wanted you to know I would LOVE to teach my granddaughters to do this simple pattern. It is absolutely meditative and satisfying. THANK YOU. 😊
I am so glad you are enjoying making these. And you should definitely teach your granddaughters to make them. It would be a fun and memorable time for all of you!!! Thank you so much for sending me this note!!! I love hearing from you!!! Blessings to you and yours!!! ❤️

You are an excellent teacher. Can’t wait to crochet this dish cloth. Thank you. Now I would like to print the pattern but don’t know how.
You are so generous to leave me such a kind note! Thank you! Were you able to print out the pattern? It should be in the description written below the video and you can copy and paste it into an email, document, etc and then print it out. If that doesn’t work, let me know and I can send it to you.

This actually looks like a great tutorial.
Thank you! I have had a lot of people tell me it was very helpful for them. I hope it is helpful for you as well! And I hope you enjoy making the dish cloths. Thank you for watching and for commenting!!! Blessings!!! ❤️
I can't believe I haven't even tried yet. Sometimes no matter how hard I try I just can't pull myself together. I'm aiming for this week. Just a wash cloth and I'm nervous hahahahahaha.
@@MarciaB12 Don’t be nervous! 😊 Just look at it as fun and enjoy playing while learning a new skill! The nice thing about crochet is you can easily take the stitches out and do it again. So no worries and no stress! Just have fun and enjoy! And before you know it you’ll look back and not remember when you couldn’t crochet. Enjoy!!! Blessings!!! ❤️
Thank you
You are most welcome!!! I hope it was helpful!!! Blessings to you!!!
This by far is the best tutorial for the absolute beginner! Thank you so much! Im hoping you’ll come back soon with another tutorial. ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you so very much!! I am so glad you found it helpful and easy to follow!!! Thank you for watching and commenting!!! I am trying to decide on another tutorial to do, so hopefully I'll have another to share soon!!! Blessings!!!
@@CindyJohnson I have a suggestion, maybe a decorative edge for the dish cloth? I’d love to make these as gifts. They’re so easy to do. Thank you so much and GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ❤️
@@Eyes2C. Oh, that sounds like a great idea!!! Thank you for that suggestion!!! I actually really love adding crochet edgings to a lot of things, so I will definitely consider this. Thank you again!!! Blessings!!!
Great video
Oh, thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave me such a kind note!!! Blessings!!! ❤️
I love this dish cloth tutorial! Do you have a tutorial on wash clothes do you make them the same way?
Hi!! Thank you so much! I make wash cloths in the exact same way. I usually start with 39 chain stitches instead of 29 so that the wash cloth is a tad bit bigger, but you can make them whatever size you want. Also, I often will use softer yarn. I have used bamboo in the past and was very pleased. Of course, the cotton yarn is great too if it feels soft enough for you. Thanks again for watching and commenting!!! I hope you have a blessed day!!!
thank you I will make some
I hope you enjoy making them. They are a fun little project and they truly work great in the kitchen. Thanks for watching and for commenting!!! Blessings!!! ❤️
Hi Cindy..I loved your style and I'm wondering..Where are you girl? you are a great teacher for beginners..or people who likes right and clear ways of explanations.. Thanks for your videos !!
Oh thank you so much for your kind words! I'm still here. I'm a busy mom and homeopath as well. I'm hoping to make more videos because I have a lot of fun things to share. And I'm glad you like the clear explanations!!! Thank you again!!! ❤️
Nice job
Thank you so much for watching and commenting!!! Blessings to you!!!
Cindy this was so helpful. Please can you do some more crochet videos
I am so glad you found it helpful!!! What kind of things would you be interested in seeing? Thank you for watching and commenting!!!
@@CindyJohnson for me I love doing smaller projects like the dishcloths. It helps with my ADHD as a big project I have a very hard time staying focused on a project that takes a long time to complete. I want to make lots of dishcloths with different stitches
@@cariemorgangraff4829 I love that idea!!! And I love that you are enjoying crocheting. I really enjoy quick projects too!!! I will try to come up with some more crochet ideas for dishcloths. Blessings to you!
Just seen your tutorial, very well explained. Could you post some hats pls? Thankyou so much!🙂
I am so thrilled that you found it helpful!!! Are you interested in crocheting hats? Thank you for watching and commenting!!!
Thank you for this tutorial❣️
I like to make unique dishcloths/washcloths as gifts & I have searched TH-cam for them & found a few.
I find a lot of people who crochet pretty coasters with beautiful edgings of leaves & flowers & I wish they would make them a little bigger so I could make them the size of a dishcloth.
I know how to increase the circle but I don’t know how many stitches I need around to make the edging come out right…😂
That’s so fun! I have made a bunch of different dishcloths in the past too. But these are the ones I always come back to. I enjoy how fun they are to crochet. Thank you so much for watching and leaving me such a kind message! Blessings to you! ❤️
Great video, you make it so easy to follow you along through each step. One question I have is, what letter hook is equivalent to the numbered hook you used? Thank you.
I’m so glad you found the video helpful! The hook I used was a size “H” hook. I really like how universal it is and it’s easy to hold and work with. Thank you for watching and for commenting. I hope you enjoy crocheting these! Blessings!!! ❤️
Thank you for sharing ! I have seen dishcloths made with heavier yarn. What is that ? And what is polyester yarn ? Can it be used for dishcloths ? Next one I make will be with more chain stitches, as my Husband is main dishwasher in our house and he prefers them larger. He's from Texas, what can I say...
I love your comment! Thank you for your kind words!!! Hmmm heavier yarn....I guess just a chunkier yarn was used. I personally use cotton yarn, but I suppose you could use polyester yarn. Dishcloths we purchase from the stores are not always cotton so I don't think it would cause any issues. If you make some, let me know how it goes. And yes, you can chain more stitches on your foundation row and make it any size you want. And then use the triangle folding trick to get it square, if desired. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!! Blessings!!!
Got to a dollar store buy a cheap plastic liquid container for drinks With a lid that has a hole for pouring. U can use that for your yarn depending on the size of yarn u thread the yarn thru the hole snap on the top it helps keep the yarn and moves it freely while u chrochet
Great idea! Thank you so much for sharing! And thank you for watching and for taking the time to leave me such a helpful comment! Blessings to you!!! ❤️
Finally found a way that is understandable to make wash cloths. Thank you. Can you also crochet dish towels as well?
I’m so glad!!! Yes, you can make a dish towel if you’d like. Just start your foundation chain with an odd number of chain stitches (the width you’d like) and continue on from there (until the length you’d like). Enjoy!!! And thanks so much for watching and commenting! Hope you have a blessed day!!! ❤️
@@CindyJohnson Thank you for replying back. My Mom God Bless her taught me to crochet when I was younger, and I am 68 now. I just started picking it up again and made scarfs and I just finished making a throw blanket. I only do single and double crocheting and I have looked at books to make other things but I don't know how or understand the directions. I do well actually with what I made and now making a baby blanket for my son's best friend and his wife. I want to learn to make hats as well. Should I just learn from your youtube channel? Thank you and I would love to give you my email somehow. Carol Price from Maine
@@53Carolp Carol, How lovely of you to be crocheting gifts for others!!! That is such a blessing!!! And you can make a lot of things using the single and double crochet stitches!!! So I wouldn't worry about that! You are doing great things!!! I only have this one video for crochet so far; I do hope to add more. I'm sure you can do a search and find many more good videos on other projects. I love going to the public library and checking out books too. Here's a link to my blog: www.sewblessedcindy.com. Once there you will see where I have my email address in my profile, if you'd like to contact me that way. I hope that helps!!! Take care and enjoy your day!!! Blessings!!!

Thanks for the tutorial, was a great way to get used to crocheting. However, my dishcloth square is not very even. Some sides of the square are longer than others. What did I do wrong?
Hi! No worries! I am sure your first dishcloth is great. Sometimes when we are learning to crochet we might accidentally pick up stitches here and there. One thing I recommend is counting your stitches across the rows as you go (just for a few rows) so you can get a good idea of where the next stitches go so you don’t accidentally increase or decrease the number of stitches each row should have. That may help you. If not, let me know and I’ll help you troubleshoot some more. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!!! Blessings to you!!! ❤️

You are so welcome! I’m glad you found the information helpful! Thank you for watching and for commenting! Blessings! ❤️
Hello, when my cotton or any of my yarns fray I use a dab of tacky glue on my fingers and rub it around the yarn. Then wait until it dries and continue to work. It help me a lot.
Thank you so much for sharing that! That sounds like a great option!!! Blessings!!!
Can I do this with double crochet as well? If so would I chain 2 or 3 before I turn the work?
Hi Jasmine! Yes, you can do this with double crochet too. I would chain 3 for the double crochet. Enjoy it and have fun!!! Thanks for your comment!!! Blessings!
Thank you, Cindy! After 30 years I'm finally getting back into crocheting and am absolutely loving it. Your videos are so easy to follow!! Looking forward to many more crochet projects...with your guidance!!
Oh you are so kind to me!!! I am so glad you enjoyed making the dishcloth and I hope you make many more!!! I am glad you are back crocheting again. I find it to be so relaxing and therapeutic. Thank you so much for watching my video and for taking the time to leave me such a precious note!!! Blessings to you!!! ❤️
Ok, I finally got the chain stitch right. I seem to be having a bit of a problem with the next step. I got a bit of a “ball”happening at the beginning of the first official crochet line, and then ended up with four loops on my hook, but decided to soldier on. At some point, I seem to have started going backwards, and now my first line has a cowboy boot shape, with a fun little … hive… happening in the corner. Should I persevere, or start again? I’ve invested a lot of time ….
Update, I have finished the first row. It only has 18 stitches, and I somehow have the letter T in the middle of the thin end of my row, it also twisted upside down half way, so it’s three dimensional now.
My daughter had to cut me out of it. I’ll try again tomorrow.
You are doing great! Just go slow and keep going!! You will get it!!! Grant yourself some grace and just have fun while you are learning this new skill!! I still sometimes have to start over so no worries. It’s important to get a good foundation so take the time to get it solid and the rest should be pretty smooth. Let me know how it goes for you.

Hi , if I wanted this bigger how many chains would I do? Does it matter? No multiples?
Yes, you can make it as large as you’d like. Just add chain stitches in multiples of 2 (so it will still be an odd number of stitches in the foundation row). I hope you have fun making them!!! Thanks for watching! Blessings!!! ❤️
Chain spaces should be loose. I suggest using a larger hook for your base chain if your tension is normally tight.
That's a great tip! Thanks for sharing!!! Blessings to you!!!
Susan Bates is an in-line hook, the other two are not.
Thank you so much for the information! And thank you for watching and commenting! Blessings! ❤️
