Free Crochet Pattern: Organic Cotton Dishcloths

In need of a super speedy {but incredibly thoughtful} last minute handmade gift for your best friend's baby shower, your mother in law's birthday, your cousin's wedding, or a hostess gift for the neighbor down the street.... crocheted organic cotton dishcloths are the way to go!


They're eco~friendly, luxuriously soft {no stiff kitchen cotton here ladies},  and you can whip up a whole set while watching your favorite late night movie or sitting at the ball field!  Be careful though, this cotton comes in 21 gorgeous colors.... I can not be responsible for rapidly multiplying dishcloths!

  4. Oh, our dishcloths are in pieces - so I need to do this - where do you order your yarn from?
    Warm wishes, Tonya

  5. The colors are to die for... I wouldn't use any other kind of dish cloth. These are my favorite!

    Blessings, Debbie

  6. I'm so glad you all love them! Tonya, the yarn is Lion Brand and I can usually find it at Michaels {especially with a coupon}. It's the only cotton I've found I like. Cotton usually makes my hands ache, but this is much more giving.

  7. I usually knit these, it looks like they could easily be changed to knitting - thanks for reminding me how much I love these. THERE IS NOTHING like them for wiping your counter tops.

  8. Can you really put them in the washing machine and dryer? I got the cotton from Michael's (with a coupon, thank goodness) and the package says hand wash/line dry...I'm pretty sure that my mother won't hand wash her washclothes, LOL.

    Thanks!

  10. These are a snap to make and work great! I throw mine in the washer and dryer and have never had any issues. These make great gifts too! Note: Try to use thick yarn and crochet them tight ;)

  11. My aunt makes these whenever she has a bake sale to make for. These always sell out first.
