Free Crochet Dishcloth Patterns

The links for free dishcloth patterns found on this page are a good project for both beginners and advanced crocheters. Dishcloths are quick to make and are a great way to try out new stitch patterns.

Use them as gifts, for yourself and easy to make projects for craft fairs and bazaars. Most dishcloths are 8" to 9" square. Just grab a hook and use your favorite stitch pattern and you can design your own or use the patterns provided.

The patterns can also be used as washcloths and for babies too. Some crocheters like a heavy dishcloth and others like light weight ones. You'll find patterns for both here. I suggest a heavier weight one if you are going to use it as a washcloth.
