Wavy Dishcloth - Free Pattern



Here is a simple dishcloth. **Feel free to use this pattern for personal use or profit, please just credit me with my name and web address if you post the pattern elsewhere!**

Materials:
US size F hook
Two colors of worsted weight Cotton

Special Techniques:
Crab stitch

Foundation Chain:
Using color A, make a chain that is a multiple of 8 + 3 ch for starting chain.

Row 1: Starting in 3rd ch from hook, make 1 dc. *1 hdc in next ch, 1 sc in each of next 3 ch, 1 hdc in next ch, 1 dc in each of next 3 cs, repeat from * to end, ending with only 2 dc (1 dc in each of last two ch instead of "1 dc in each of next 3 ch"). ch 1, turn.

Row 2:
sc in each st across.

Row 3: join color B, ch 1, 1 sc in same stitch, 1 sc in next sc, *1 hdc in next sc, 1 dc in each of next 3 sc, 1 hdc in next sc, 1 sc in each of next 3 sc, repeat from * to end, ending with only 2 sc (1 sc in each of last two sc instead of "1 sc in each of next 3 sc"). ch 1, turn.

Row 4: sc in each st across.

Row 5: drawing color A up along edge, switch to this color, ch 3. 1 dc in next sc *1 hdc in next sc, 1 sc in each of next 3 sc, 1 hdc in next sc, 1 dc in each of next 3 sc, repeat from * to end, ending with only 2 dc (1 dc in each of last two sc instead of "1 dc in each of next 3 sc"). ch 1, turn.

Row 6:
sc in each st across

Repeat rows 3-6 till dishcloth is approximately square, drawing colors along the edge without pulling tight (these will be hidden in the edging). Using last worked color, crab stitch all the way around, working one crab st in each st along the wavy ends, 2 crab stitches in each corner, and 2 crab stitches in each dc along the side (only one for the sc rows).

  2. Hey, This is Julee from crochetville. I was wondering what your policy is about people selling the items they have made from your pattern. I plan on doing some small craftfairs and possibly a farmers market this year and I would really like to make some dishcloths to sell, and your pattern would be one of them I would like to use. Thanks for reading this.
    God Bless

  3. Feel free to use this pattern to sell, I have no problem with that! However, this PATTERN may not be sold, as it is free for anyone to use! I'd appreciate credit if you post it somewhere or give it away.

    Thanks!

  4. Thanks Andrea!!
    I will definantly give a link to your pattern when ever I post a pic of my dishcloths.

    And don't worry. I'd never sell anyones pattern. I think that is really wrong and when I see people who do that it makes me a little angry.
    Thanks for the permission to sell the item though. I appreciate that.

    Have a wonderful day and keep designing!!!

    Julee
