Double Thick Scrubby Dishcloth

I whipped up this very quick and easy scrubby dishcloth. If you haven't worked with Scrubby Yarn before, this would make a great first project. This easy dishcloth is crocheted with a larger sized hook (7 mm) and uses only simple stitches. The Double Thick Scrubby Dishcloth is crocheted with 2-strands of Scrubby Yarn held together. I chose to use 2 different colors from my Stash but you could just as easily use 2 strands from one ball of yarn. This scrubby dishcloth took me less than 15 minutes to crochet - so I'm sure you will have it done quickly too!

Double thick and super squishy, its small size makes it particularly good at getting into smaller corners and edges. I personally prefer smaller dishcloths for cleaning, they are just easier for my hands to hold onto! Try this pattern and let me know what you think! Maybe you will decide you prefer small dishcloths too! You can substitute any yarn and hook for this stitch pattern - just remember when you substitute if your gauge is different, the finished size of your project will also be different.

Beginner Linen Stitch Coaster

This crochet pattern for the beginner linen stitch coaster works up quickly and it is a wonderful way to practice. If you are new to crochet, then this simple pattern is for you. This crochet pattern is chocked full of crochet tutorials to help you master this project. There are video tutorials for crochet stitches, crocheting over yarn ends, color charts, as well as, some photo tutorials. Further, there are other crochet project ideas using this crochet stitch. Today, I used yarns that had a bit more earth tones in them. This pattern will lend itself well to both a solid color or variegated yarn. The coasters have been made with just one color of yarn, as well, as altering a few of the rows of color to change up the look. When crocheting coaster, I find that cotton yarn works the best. It is sturdy and washes up well too.

Linen Stripes Dishcloth

The Linen Stripes Dishcloth has a wonderful, woven texture, with subtle stripes. It can be crocheted in two colors to enhance the stripes even more. This dishcloth looks best in a solid color to show off the linen-like texture. Multi-colored yarn works great for the stripes. Each dish cloth measures approximately 8" (20 cm) by 8” (20 cm). Each dishcloth can be crocheted in about an hour. You can make at least four of them from one skein of Comfy Cotton Blend.
