Nubby dishcloth

A pattern by Charlotte Richardson, 2009

I know there are a lot of dishcloth patterns out there, but I'm trying to keep things simple since I'm new at writing patterns out. The great texture in this dishcloth is achieved by alternating single crochet and treble crochet stitches.

Skill level: easy

Stitches used: chain stitch (ch), single crochet (sc), treble crochet (tr).

Gauge: not important for this project. My finished cloth is about 7 ½” square.

Materials:
• I used a 4mm/size G6 hook.
• 1 ball (1½ oz) worsted weight cotton. I used Bernat Handicrafter Cotton
Ultrasoft, Violet Veil Ombre.

Pattern:

Row 1: Ch 26. Sc in 2nd ch from hook and across. (25)

Row 2: Ch 1, turn. * Sc in first st, tr in next. Repeat from * across, ending with sc.

Row 3: Ch 3, turn. * Sc in tr; tr in next sc. Repeat from * across, ending with tr.

Row 4: Ch 1, turn. * Sc in tr; tr in next sc. Repeat from * across, ending with a sc in top of starting ch 3 of previous row.

Rows 5 to 23: Repeat rows 3 and 4, ending with a row 3. Do not fasten off.

Edging: Ch 1, turn. * Sc across to next corner; 3 sc in last st. Repeat from * around, ending with sl st into first sc. Fasten off and weave ends in.

That is really an interesting looking stitch pattern. Thanks for sharing. If I have time I am going to try this one out later today. I could use some new dishcloths.

Thank you! One can never have enough dishcloths and this one looks like it can do some scrubbing! Love the nubby effect. Will definitely be making one of those this weekend.

Thanks for including the picture, too. I will post when I get one made.

This is similar to one I wrote up, but mine is a single and a double rather than your treble. I may have to give that a try!

I love the way the colors worked up in that dishcloth. Thanks for sharing the pattern.

I am going to try it! I love keeping dishcloth patterns in my camper - that way when we are all sitting round the fire I can crochet on something easy!
But right now I am in the middle of sewing skirts (actually revising jumpers into skirts! So no crochet for a while for me - but I can still be "planning" for when the sewing's done!
