Crochet Star stitch wash/dishcloth

The Star stitch makes a beautiful and textured wash/dishcloth, perfect for everyday use. At the beginning, this stitch may seem a little bit difficult, but is very easy, just be patient and you’ll see how beautiful it is and I’m sure you will enjoy this project.

For my textured wash/dishcloth, I’ve used 50 g organic cotton and a 3 mm hook.

For this project, I recommend Pure Cotton Fine yarn:

This is a very high-quality cotton yarn. This yarn is made from 100% combed Turkish cotton, which is soft, flexible, and exceptionally durable. Textiles in Turkish cotton stay beautiful for many years and only get softer with use. This yarn also excels when it comes to its absorbing powers, but is quick-drying at the same time. The color chart includes plenty of gorgeous colors, you just have to decide what color you like and get started. You can buy this yarn HERE.

3. Row 3: ch 1, hdc until the end of the row.

Repeat the pattern from row 2 until you reach the desired dimension.

After you finish the star stitch crochet a sc around the cloth.

For my wash/dishcloth, I’ve started with 59 ch and I’ve crocheted the Star stitch for 27 rows. Don’t forget to make the round of sc at the end.

My wash/dishcloth is 27 cm in length and 21 cm in width.
