This makes a loose, thinner dishcloth than any of the worsted weight patterns I've seen. I personally like a thinner dishcloth. It's a stretchy dishcloth that wrings out easily.
Supplies:
Worsted weight cotton yarn
Size H crochet hook
Chain 29 (or any odd number of chains to achieve the desired width for your dishcloth)
Row 1: Sc in second chain from hook and in each chain across. Chain 1, turn. (28 sc)
Row 2: Sc in back loop of 1st sc. Sc in front loop of next sc. *Sc in back loop of next sc, sc in front loop of next sc. Repeat from * across row. Chain 1, turn.
Repeat row 2 for pattern. Continue crocheting the pattern until you reach the length that you want your dishcloth to be.
When the dishcloth is as long as you want it: Crochet the last row in sc, through both loops of prevous row of sc.
Finish off and hide ends.
Thank you for your pattern. :o) I am working on it right now. :o)
ReplyDeleteA fellow Ravelry member pointed out that this appears to be the same pattern that I posted on my blog in February of 2009, and also at Ravelry ( http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/thin-stretchy-dishcloth ) The stitch counts are the same, and even the wording is very similar. It's not nice to pass someone else's pattern off as your own.
ReplyDeleteI did not pass this pattern as my own. I gave credit to Cheri Mancini.

ReplyDeleteThanks for this pattern I made some for gifts.
ReplyDelete@Gardner- Didnt your mother ever teach you "if you dont have something nice to say, dont say anything at all.." get a life and find something better to do than criticize others!
ReplyDelete@ Deborah- thank you for the great pattern!!
Just for the record, I very recently bought a crochet book by leisure arts, and this exact pattern was published in it. Very nice pattern, but also very basic. Not something that many people couldn't think up on their own! We must be careful, Gardner, about accusing of stealing... you might be accused as well. Thanks, Deborah. I agree its a great pattern!
ReplyDeleteThis pattern is not new at all. It's very basic and one I learned 20 years ago. So Gardner you need to stop.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute dishcloth! Can't wait to give a stack of these as gifts this Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I was looking for a new, easy, quick pattern, and I like the light-weight ones as well. Perfect!!
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern, Thank you!
ReplyDeleteJust came across your pattern. Thanks I'll try this one. Amanda
ReplyDeleteGreat pattern! Looking forward to getting back into crochet, and this cloth looks like a fun one to reinspire me - thank you :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea! I prefer cleaning with my own homemade cleaning solutions and the perfect addition to them is such a cleaning cloth. Made from the right yarn this beautiful cloth can be very useful. Recently I crocheted few tulle dish scrubbers and my friends liked them very much. Thank you for sharing this pattern, it's great!
ReplyDeleteIt does not matter where the pattern came from.. just enjoy making it.
