Crochet Rib Dishcloth

by

This free dishcloth pattern comes you via Knitpicks, if you haven’t already checked out their yarn then it really is a must. Dye lots sell out fast, so make sure you get enough balls for your crochet project. Um yeah that is coming from a “hard lesson”. I ended up pulling back my piece and using it for something I could complete.  There are lots of 1 ball kinda projects for crochet so I didn’t mind finding another project to start. I did of course mind the frogging back. 

You can grab the pattern for this dishcloth here. 

We love the concept of making long-lasting re-usable dishcloths that are practical and help save the environment. We highly suggest using a 100% Cotton yarn as it stays fresh longer. Looking for more Dishcloth patterns?

Girls Crochet Handbags – A Sweet Little Crochet Bag Pattern With Vintage Charm

This is a cute, no-fuss crochet bag pattern that feels very handmade in the nicest possible way. The Girls Crochet Handbags project on CraftBits uses Lily Sugar’n Cream cotton yarn, a 5 mm hook, and simple single crochet rows to create an easy tote-style bag, finished with straps and little crochet flowers for extra detail.

What I like about this one is that it is simple enough to play around with. The pattern suggests changing colours to make stripes or edging, so it would be easy to match it to a child’s outfit or just use up those leftover cotton yarn bits we all keep pretending are “too useful to throw away.” The sample bag is worked to around 50 rows, so you can also tweak the size a little if needed.

It definitely has that older-style craft pattern feel, which can be charming, but it also means you may need to read through the instructions carefully before starting. Even one of the comments mentions the wording being a little confusing, so I would say this is best for crocheters who are comfortable filling in the occasional gap rather than absolute beginners wanting lots of hand-holding.
