These modern textured dishcloths are made using the griddle stitch, which means they have just the right amount of texture and are super easy to make.

If you’re looking for a quick, beginner-friendly crochet dishcloth pattern, this is it! With these dishcloths, you can make them whatever size you want, as long as you chain an odd number of chains.
Because these are dishcloths, you’ll want to make sure you use 100% cotton yarn. Cotton yarn is durable and can withstand the wear and tear of washing dishes. Also, cotton yarns are machine washable, which is definitely a plus when it comes to dishcloths.
Additionally, I love the stitch definition that cotton yarn gives and the beautiful colors that are available.

Materials:
- One skein of 100% worsted weight cotton yarn. For my dishcloths, I used Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton in the colors white, goldenrod, and dragonfly.
- US size G 4.0 mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle
Size (approximate) 10″ x 10″
Size Adjustment: To adjust the size of your dishcloth, start with a longer or shorter chain, keeping an odd number of chains. Follow the crochet pattern until your dishcloth is the size you want.
Abbreviations (US):
ch – chain
st(s) – stitch(es)
sc – single crochet
dc – double crochet
Modern Textured Crochet Dishcloth Pattern
To begin ch 37
Row 1: In 2nd ch from hook, *sc, dc in next ch*. Repeat from * to * across the row. Ch 1 and turn.
Row 2: In 1st st, *sc, dc in next st*. Repeat from * to * across the row. Ch 1 and turn. (Always sc into a dc. Always dc into a sc)
- The first st of each row will always be a sc st.
- The last st of each row will always be a dc st.
Repeat row 2 until your dishcloth reaches 10″ or your desired length.
If you DO NOT want to add a border you can fasten off and weave in ends.
Add a Border
If you want to add a border, keeping the yarn and hook attached, ch 1 and place 1 sc in the same st.
Sc around the entire piece, placing 1 sc in each stitch. Whenever you reach a corner, place 2 sc sts in the corner st. This helps round out the corners a bit. Once you’ve made your way around, sl st in top of the starting ch. Fasten off and weave in ends.
Note: It can be difficult to see your stitches when crocheting along the sides. Just do your best here. The stitch count is not important.
