Frequently Asked Questions about Crochet Dishcloths

If you aren’t yet sure if crocheted dishcloths and washcloths are for you, let us answer some questions to help convince you.  

Why Crochet a Dishcloth?

Crochet dishcloths are one of the most practical projects you can make. What’s more, they are fun, quick, and easy. They’re the perfect project for beginners and experienced crocheters alike. 

Here are a few reasons to add making crochet dishcloths to your stitching repertoire: 

  • Crochet dishcloths are a great way to practice crochet stitches. Since they are typically small squares, they can be a perfect training ground for you to learn new stitches.
  • Crochet dishcloths are perfect gifts. They are both practical and beautiful, and everyone needs dish cloths. Pair them with a nice bottle of hand soap or dish soap and a candle for a perfect quick gift. 
  • Crochet dishcloths are quick to make. You can create a bunch in a day, which is great if you want a quick project or need to mass-produce items for a sale. 
  • Crochet dishcloths are effective for cleaning. When you use the right yarn, crochet dishcloths are packed absorbent, and strong, and they wear well even with machine washing.

Speaking of playing with stitches, if you want to try some different stitches on your crocheted washcloths beyond the options here, our Ultimate Crochet Stitch Library has 45 stitch options for you to try on washcloths or anything else you like. 

Can Beginners Crochet Dishcloths?

Yes, beginners can crochet dishcloths. Just because you are new to crocheting doesn’t mean you can’t make any of the fun and cute dishcloths shared here. These crochet dishcloth patterns are great for beginner crocheters who want to try new skills or get more comfortable with different techniques.

Are Crochet Dishcloths Hard to Make?

Generally, no, crochet dishcloths aren’t hard to crochet. Depending on the pattern, crochet dishcloths are easy to make. In fact, most dishcloth patterns are suitable for beginners.

How Do You Make a Crochet Dishcloth?

Dishcloths can be made with virtually any crochet stitch worked to a square or rectangular shape. If you’re designing your own dishcloth, be aware that some stitch patterns require a particular number of chains to make the repeat work, which will constrain slightly the sizes you can make.

How Long Does Crocheting a Dishcloth Take?

A simple dishcloth can take as little as 30 minutes to crochet, while more complex ones might take a couple of hours. The time it takes you to crochet a dishcloth will depend on the size of the cloth and the yarn used, the complexity of the stitches, and your skill at crochet. 

Do Crochet Dishcloths Work Well?

Yes, they work very well. Dishcloths are an essential tool for any kitchen, and a crocheted dishcloth is the best option out there. Dishcloths made from crochet make cleaning a breeze and are a reusable and absorbent alternative to paper towels.

What Is the Standard Size for a Dishcloth?

A regular-sized dishcloth measures about 8 inches square but don’t feel like you should be bound by this size. You can make your crochet dishcloth in whatever size suits you best. The beauty of making your own is you can customize it for your needs as well.

Are There Any Tips to Consider When Making Crochet Dishcloths?

Crochet dishcloths are simple projects to make, but here are a few tips to make them even better:

  • Use yarn made of cotton. Cotton is absorbent and can hold up well through many washes.
  • Use a textured crochet stitch. By using a textured stitch on your dishcloth it’ll be easier to scrub with to effectively clean the dishes or other messes.

What Stitches are Best for Making Crochet Dishcloths?

Crochet dishcloths can be made from any crochet stitch, and they often use a single stitch repeated throughout the cloth, which makes them even easier. 

If you’re new to crochet, making dishcloths and washcloths is a great way to practice basic stitches like single crochet and double crochet. 

Adding a little scrubbing texture with a simple stitch like moss stitch is also a great idea. 

But of course, you can use any stitch you want to mix and match what works best for you, and if you want to learn more and expand your crochet stitch knowledge check out our Ultimate Crochet Stitch Library to help you in choosing the best stitch for your project.

Materials and Supplies You Need to Make Crochet Dishcloths

Best Yarn for Crochet Dishcloths

As mentioned earlier, cotton yarns and blends that are mostly cotton are a great choice for durability and absorption. Most crochet dishcloth patterns use either (3) DK or (4) worsted weight yarn. 

To help you out here is a list of some of our favorite yarns for crochet dishcloths:

(3) DK

  • Knit Picks CotLin
  • Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton DK 
  • Lion Brand LB Collection Cotton Jeans

(4) Worsted

  • Knit Picks Dishie
  • Lily Sugar‘n Cream
  • Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton
  • I Love This Cotton

Most crochet dishcloth patterns require less than one skein, making them perfect projects to use up any extra cotton yarn you have lying around.

Crochet Hook

The size of crochet hook you will need will be indicated in the pattern you want to stitch. If you’re not working from a pattern, choose a hook size suggested on the label of the yarn you want to use. 

In general, if working with a (3) DK weight yarn you will want a hook in the 3.5mm to 5mm range, while you will choose one from 4mm to 6mm for working with (4) worsted weight yarns.

We recommend having a good set of crochet hooks on hand such as the Clover Amour Crochet Hook Set so that you always have whatever size you need on hand.

Other Notions and Supplies

It’s always a good idea to have a small pair of scissors handy for cutting yarn ends, as well as a tapestry needle to weave in ends when your project is done. 

If you need a little help keeping the sides of your project straight, marking the last stitch of each row with a stitch marker is a great idea. If your project has a repeat that last several rows, you might also want to invest in a row counter to help you keep track.
