Thick Crochet Dishcloth Pattern
Give your kitchen that extra personal touch with this Thick Crochet Dishcloth Pattern. It's quick, easy, and the perfect project to crochet for beginners. This crochet pattern uses only two stitches, the chain stitch and single crochet stitch, to make a thick dishcloth that can also double as a washcloth. Once you've mastered this project, you can use this free crochet dishcloth pattern to wow family and friends with nifty, useful gifts for the holidays. You'll be amazed to find that you'll never have to buy another dishcloth ever again!

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.

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.

Ever Ridge Hot Pad
This pattern utilizes a unique combination of stitches to give you a thick finished product. Ever Ridge is perfect for protecting your counters and tabletops. It is a great stash-buster too! You only need about 80 yards of the main yarn and 15 yards of the contrasting yarn. You'll be surprised and impressed at how you work the stitches to create the thick ridges on this sturdy pot holder. Put your surface slip stitch skills to the test too to give it a lovely contrasting stripe!
