If you want an easy dishcloth pattern you can complete while binging Netflix, you’ll love Mama’s Easy Dishcloth. It uses a combination of skipping stitches, single crochet, and double crochet stitches. You will need to pay attention to the placement of stitches and skips, but it will work up fast.

River Pebble Crochet Washcloth

I love the texture of this crochet washcloth pattern! The creator uses a blend of single crochet and triple crochet. Treble crochet requires yarning over twice in the first step rather than once, which is typically used for double crochet. The border on the washcloth is perfect and looks like it’s built into the pattern easily.

Herringbone Half Double Crochet Washcloth

If you can work a half-double, then a herringbone half-double is only a slight variation. This pattern utilizes the HHDC to create a dense, intriguing washcloth that looks more complicated than it is to make. You can easily adjust the pattern to any size you want.

All-Purpose Waffle Stitch Crochet Dishcloth Pattern
