This farmhouse washcloth is nice and big, but you can customize them to any size by decreasing or adding rounds. My crochet dishcloth is about 9 x 9-inches square. Pair a super easy stitch pattern with a gorgeous cotton yarn colors and you have a winning crochet pattern that is perfect for even a beginner crocheter. Yet, gorgeous enough for an experienced crocheter. In just eight rounds, you can have a large farmhouse washcloth ready to use or gift! It takes me less than an hour to make each one and that includes weaving in the yarn ends.

Crochet Waffle Stitch Dishcloth
What's so great about a waffle stitch dishcloth? The waffle stitch dishcloth feels dense without actually being dense. There is enough space between stitches for the dishcloth to dry quickly. The raised post stitches give the dishcloth some great texture with scrubbing power! If you need a flatter surface for cleaning, the smoother side of the dishcloth is perfect for that. With this simple, yet beautiful border, it would be a great addition in a spa gift basket or look lovely hanging in your shower as a washcloth.
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.
Plastic Bag Holder - Free Crochet Pattern
Recently we made a move into a new house, as we were unpacking I began to collect a large pile of plastic grocery bags. I generally use this bags pretty often so I didn’t want to throw them away. That’s when I realized I didn’t have a bag holder to put them in. Moving can be pretty expensive so the last thing I wanted to do was purchase one knowing full well I could make one myself, so I did!
You can easily make this bag as long as you want to fit more grocery bags, my family is pretty small so I made a smaller bag holder. If you want a larger one just work more rounds in-between the increases/decreases.
I always recommend using cotton yarn when working an anything household related. For this pattern I used Peaches and Cream’s Cotton yarn which you can find HERE. They have so many colors to choose from!

Even Moss Stitch Dishcloth
Using cotton yarn this dishcloth pattern is a fast and easy crochet project that can be stitched up in an evening. These make a great handmade gift idea. The Even Moss stitch uses a combo of half double crochet and the slip stitch to create the pattern that gives a unique textured appearance. This pattern can be made in a set of dishcloths or just a single dishcloth. You can also use this as a washcloth instead of a dishcloth if you would like.
