About my Free Cotton Dishcloth Crochet Pattern
I am so excited to share this free pattern with you today! If you are looking for the best way to spruce up your kitchen, this cotton dishcloth crochet pattern is exactly what you need.
Honestly, once you use a handmade washcloth to clean a dish, you will never want to use anything else. I love playing with different types of yarn, and I found that creating a nice, thick texture makes a huge difference.
I designed this double sided cloth with a very simple edging and an optional hanging loop so it dries fast by the sink.
It looks so pretty whether you use a solid or variegated color, and it only takes a single skein to make! You can easily whip 1 up as a thoughtful housewarming gift, or just keep it for yourself.
If you get stuck, do not worry. I included a full step by step photo tutorial to walk you through the whole crochet process. I hope you love this free crochet dishcloth pattern as much as I do.

Free Crochet Pattern: Morning Glory Dishcloth
Dishcloth:
Row 1: Fsc 29, (or Ch 30, sc in 2nd ch and across.) (29 sts)
Row 2: Ch 1, turn, sc across.
In the next row, you will be working every other st in the front post of the st directly below in Row 1.
Row 3: Ch 1, turn, sc in first st, *sk next sc and fptr in st 2 rows below, sc in next st; rep from * across to last st, sc.
In the next row, your fptr sts will be off set from the fptr sts of Row 3. You will work a sc in each fptr of Row 3 and sk each sc, and work a fptr in the st directly below in Row 2.
In the first photo below, you can clearly see the sc sts from the previous row. These sts create a “v” that points to the st below where you will work your fptr.
Row 4: Ch 1, turn, sc in first 2 sts, *sk next sc, fptr 2 rows below, sc in next st; rep from * across to last st, sc in last st.
In the following rows, you will be working your fptr around the top of the fptr st 2 rows below, and not around the actual post of the fptr.
An easy way to find where to insert your hook is to lift your work. There is a larger hole created to the side of the fptr, marked with orange in the photo below. Insert your hook there, and out in the space marked with blue in the photo below. This will create the curve that gives the texture and design to the fabric.
Work around the top part of the fptr by inserting your hook into the “hole” beside the stitch.
Row 5: Ch 1, turn, sc in first st, *sk next sc, fptr around the top of the fptr 2 rows below, sc in next st; rep from * across to last st, sc in last st.
Your fptr sts should create a curve similar to the number 3.
Row 6: Ch 1, turn, sc in first 2 sts, * sk next sc, fptr around the top of the fptr 2 rows below, sc in next st; rep from * across to last st, sc in last st.
Rows 7 – 20: Rep Rows 5 & 6: seven more times.
Row 21: Ch 1, turn, sc across.
Edge:
You will work a single crochet border around the entire edge. The important thing is that your edging lays flat.
Ch 1, turn to work down side of rows, sc in end of each row to next corner (21 sts), ch 1, turn sc across (29 sts), ch 1, turn to work up the next side, sc in end of each row (21 sts), ch 1, turn, sc across (29 sts)
If no loop: sl st in beginning ch-1 sp to join.
If working loop: ch 10, sl st in beginning ch-1 sp, turn, sc 20 in ch-10 sp. Sl st to last st of edging.
Fasten off.
Weave in ends.
