If you’re looking for a fast and simple crochet pattern to make this Crochet kitchen/dish Towel it’s perfect for you. This is a quick crochet project to make when you don’t know what to crochet anymore or when you need cute and cool crochet ideas for a last-minute gift. Also, it’s a fun project to crochet and at the end of the day, you’ll have the satisfaction that you’ve finished a project.

You can pair this crochet kitchen/dishtowel with this Alpine dishcloth and you’ll have cool crochet set for your kitchen. If you know how to crochet, your kitchen definitely needs a touch of crochet no matter if it’s a modern or a rustic one.

The first thing we want for a towel is to be absorbent so you definitely should use cotton yarn. And because it’s a textured pattern it will hold up very well in the washing process. Let’s not forget that a crochet kitchen/dish towel it’s more sustainable and eco-friendly.

If you are a beginner or you are looking for beginner crochet patterns and you think this pattern is too much for you, you can skip the last five or six rounds of the edge which are crocheted in Alpine stitch, and leave the pattern with just one or two rounds of the edge. The body of the towel is very easy to crochet, even beginner-friendly, it uses only single crochet and double crochet stitches. So don’t be afraid to try it. Plus is the perfect occasion to learn a new stitch: the front post double crochet used for the alpine stitch.

 

For my crochet kitchen/dish towel I’ve used 200 g of this Pure cotton fine yarn (4 x 50 g) (50g= 170m/ 1.76oz= 185 yards) and a 3.5 mm hook.

ice yarnThis is 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.

 

The gauge: for 10 cm (4″) with a 3.5 cm hook: 20 stitches x 19 rows.

The edge for the crochet kitchen/dish towel:

1. Round 1: After you finish row 101 don’t cut the yarn, don’t turn your work, and start to crochet one round of single crochet. You’ll crochet 1 sc for every row on the length, 3 sc for corners, and 1 sc in every stitch for the width. You should finish the round in a corner making 3 sc crochet and slip stitch to the first single crochet to close the round. You should have 378 stitches.
2. Round 2: ch 2 (don’t count as a dc), dc in the same stitch, and continue crocheting double crochet in every single crochet of the previous row. When you reach the corners crochet in the second stitch 3 double crochet stitches. Slip stitch to the first stitch of the round to close the round. You should have 384 double crochet stitches.
3. Round 3: ch (don’t count as a stitch), single crochet in the same stitch and continue to crochet one single crochet in every stitch of the previous round.

4. Round 4: ch2 (don’t count as a stitch), dc in the same stitch; *crochet 1 fpdc skipping the next sc and going around dc in the round below the skipped sc, 1 dc in next sc*. Repeat *-* until you reach the corner and in the second sc of the corner crochet: 1 fpdc around the second dc below, 1 dc in the second sc of the previous round, and 1 fpdc in the same stitch as the first one. Dc in the next stitch and continue repeating *-* until the end of the round crocheting the corners as you did for the first one. You should have 392 stitches.

After you finish round 7 slip stitch to the corner and crochet 20 chains and slip stitch in the same stitch you’ve started the chains. Then crochet single crochet stitches around the chains. I’ve crocheted 43 sc until I finished the yarn. Wave at the end of the yarn on the back of your work.

Wash the towel by hand or on the washing machine at a maximum of 40 Celsius degrees; I prefer 30 Celsius degrees for all my cotton items. Dry it flat and then iron it choosing the temperature for cotton.
