Mother Nature seems to be a little confused. We experienced Spring here in Kansas, for about a week, and then Winter returned. While we didn’t receive the 8+ inches of snow that some other parts of the country received, the temperatures did get below freezing. I am thankful that I didn’t get out and plant flowers during that brief warm spell!
While we wait for Mother Nature to decide what season it is outside, why not Bring on Spring on the inside with some adorable floral dish cloths? These Bring on Spring Dish cloths are perfect for adding a little color to your kitchen, and the texture is great for cleaning the countertops and the dishes. It’s a free crochet pattern too!
About the Yarn
Cotton Yarn is perfect for making dish clothes. Here are three I used to make mine. No matter which brand you chose, you are going to love this free dishcloth crochet pattern.
Lily Sugar ‘n Cream Cotton Yarn is available at Walmart, so it is easy to grab while you are there for your weekly run, but they are limited on color choices and each store is different. I have also found this yarn online at Michael’s. This yarn is a little stiff and holds up great to washing, but I find the color doesn’t stay as vibrant as before washing. $2.09 for 95 yards. Browse the colors
Knit Picks Dishie Yarn is a new yarn for me to work with. You do have to order it online and wait for it to come in. I received this ball as a gift and loved the way it worked up. A little less stiff than the Sugar ‘n Cream yarn and the color is great. (Although this one is called Crème Brulee and I have never seen any Crème Brulee this color). I have yet to wash it, so I don’t know how the color holds, but the site claims “machine washable and stays bright and colorful wash after wash”. Pricewise it is a Great buy! $2.99 for 190 yards. Check out all of the great color options.
Hobby Lobby I Love This Cotton has become my favorite cotton yarn to work with over the years. It is so incredibly soft and stays bright after washing. However, the price tag is a little higher than the others. $3.79 for 153 yards. They have a great color selection too. Check out the full line.

Love this! Making dishcloths, washcloths, tea towels for neighbor who runs errands for me (hip problems) but was wondering about R9 – u state “work on top of cluster’ – I am not sure about diagram – want to get it straight – wud this be the back loop of the stitch? Tk u for sharing yr pattern – love it!
Thank you so much for your message, and what a great way to bless others!
When you work the cluster stitch, you pull through all loops and then ch 1. The chain 1 is part of the stitch, so when you look at the top loops of the stitches of round 8, it will look like you have twice as many stitches as you worked. For Round 9 you will work into every single one of these top loops. I hope this helps clarify, please reach out if you need further assistance.
