For my crochet dish washcloth, I’ve used 100 g of this Pure cotton fine yarn, 50 g for each dish washcloth, (50g= 170m/ 1.76oz= 185 yards) and a 3.5 mm hook.

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 video tutorial:

Start with 45 chains.

Row 1: In the 2nd chain from the hook crochet a dc, sc in the next chain, dc in next ch, sc in next ch, repeat - until the end of the row;

Row 2: Ch 1, dc in the single crochet of the previous row, sc in the dc of the previous row, dc in next sc of the previous row, sc in next dc of the previous row. Repeat - until the end of the row.

Make sure to crochet every single crochet stitch in the double crochet of the previous row and the double crochet stitch in the single crochet of the previous row.

Repeat row 2 to complete the pattern. In total crochet 35 rows. Next, we’ll crochet the edge in rounds. For the edge, we’ll crochet one round of single crochet and then we’ll continue with six rounds of the Alpine stitch.

The edge for the crochet dishcloth:

1. Round 1: After you finish row 35 crochet 2 more single crochet in the same stitch as the one you just crocheted. This will be the first corner. Continue to crochet 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. Slip stitch to close the round. You should have 163 stitches.

2. Round 2: ch 2 (don’t count as a dc), dc in the same stitch (in the first single crochet of the corner), 3 dc in the next stitch (in the 2nd single crochet of the corner) and continue to crochet dc in every stitch and making 3 dc in the second sc of the corners. Slip stitch to close the round. You should have 171 stitches.

3. Round 3: ch 1 (don’t count as an st), sc in the same stitch; crochet sc in next st (1st st of the corner); 3 sc in next st (2nd st of the corner). Continue crocheting single crochet in every stitch and 3 sc in the 2nd st of the corners. Slip stitch to close the round. You should have 179 stitches.

4. Round 4: ch 2 (don’t count as a dc); fpdc in the dc below, dc in 1st st of the corner, fpdc in the 2nd dc of the corner below, dc in the 2nd sc of the previous round; fpdc in the same dc as the previous fpdc; dc in next stitch. Continue repeating fpdc in the dc below, dc in the next stitch until you reach the next corner.

When you reach the next corner the st before the 3 sc stitches of the previous round should be double crochet. And crochet the corner as follows: fpdc in the 2nd dc of the corner below, dc in the 2nd sc of the previous round, and a fpdc in the same 2nd dc of the corner below as the previous fpdc.

If you reach the corner with an fpdc and not with dc crochet as follows: fpdc in 1st dc bellow, dc in the next sc of the previous round, fpdc in the 2nd dc below, dc in next sc of the previous round, fpdc in the 3rd dc below; dc in next sc and continue repeating fpdc in the dc below, dc in next stitch. Slip stitch to close the round.

5. Round 5: ch 1 (don’t count as an st), sc in the same stitch. Crochet single crochet in every next 2 stitches; 3 sc in next st (the dc of the corner). Continue to crochet sc in every stitch making 3 sc in corners. If the corner is made from 3 fpdc then crochet 3 sc in the 2nd fpdc of the corner.

Slip stitch to close the round. You should have 188 stitches.

6. Round 6: ch 2 (don’t count as a dc), dc in the same stitch. Fpdc in next st, dc in 1st sc of the corner, fpdc in the dc below (the dc between the 2 fpdc of the corner below), and dc in the 2nd sc of the corner then another fpdc in the same dc as the previous fpdc. If you have the second type of the corner: you should have a dc in 1st sc of the corner, then 1st fpdc in the 2nd fpdc below, dc in the 2nd sc of the corner, and the 2nd fpdc in the same st as the first fpdc. Continue to crochet dc in the next stitch and fpdc in the dc below.

The written pattern for the second Crochet dish washcloth:

The Chart for the Alpine stitch used for the body of the dishcloth:

I’ve started this dish washcloth with 46 double crochet chainless foundations. This is how you crochet the double crochet foundation:

Step 1: Crochet 3 chains;
Step 2: Yarn over and insert the hook in the first chain you’ve crocheted (3rd ch from the hook) making sure you catch the top 2 loops of the chain and pull through the chain. Now you have 3 loops on the hook. Next yarn over and pull through the first loop, this will be the base chain you’ll make the next double crochet, so if it’s the first time you are making this double crochet foundation stitch you can mark this stitch so it will be easier to see it.
Step 3: Now let’s finish the first double crochet stitch, you’ll still have 3 loops on your crochet and we’ll crochet the double crochet as usual: yarn over, pull through 2 loops, yarn over, and pull through 2 loops. This is the first double crochet stitch.
Step 4: Now let’s crochet the next double crochet stitch, remember you’ve already made the base for this stitch (see step 2): yarn over and insert the hook in the base chain you’ve crocheted at step two making sure you catch the top 2 loops of the chain and pull through. Now you have 3 loops on the hook. Next yarn over and pull through the first loop, this will be the base chain you’ll make for the next double crochet, mark this stitch so it will be easier to see it for the next stitch. Now crochet the double crochet as usual: yarn over, pull through 2 loops, yarn over, and pull through 2 loops.
Step 5: Repeat step 4 until you have all the double crochet stitches you need.

All these steps make row 1 of the pattern.

If you want to start this dishcloth with chains foundation start with 48 chains and crochet row 1 as it follows: chain 2 (don’t count as a stitch), double crochet in 3rd chain from the hook, continue crocheting double crochet in every chain until the end of the row. So you will have 46 double crochet stitches.

From now on the pattern is the same no matter how you’ve started.

2. Row 2: chain 1 (don’t count as a stitch), single crochet in the same stitch, continue crocheting single crochet in every stitch until the end of the row.

3. Row 3: chain 2 (don’t count as a stitch), skip the next single crochet and crochet 1 front post double crochet around the double crochet below skipped single crochet, double crochet in next stitch. Repeat - until the end of the row.

4. Row 4: chain 1 (don’t count as a stitch), single crochet in the same stitch, continue crocheting single crochet in every stitch until the end of the row.

5. Row 5: chain 2 ( don’t count as a stitch), double crochet in the same stitch, skip the next single crochet and crochet 1 front post double crochet around the double crochet below skipped single crochet, double crochet in next stitch. Repeat - to the last stitch and in the last stitch of the row crochet.

Repeat the pattern from row 2 until you have 39 rows.

Make sure to crochet every double crochet stitch in the next single crochet stitch of the previous row and every front double crochet in the double crochet below. The front post double crochet is worked on the intervening rows, but only on every other stitch.

The edge for the crochet dishcloth:

1. Round 1: After you finish row 39 don’t turn your work and don’t cut the yarn and start to crochet single crochet stitches on the right side. Crochet single crochet around your work making 3 single crochet for corners. Finish the round with 3 sc in the last stitch and slip stitch in the first sc to close the round. You should have 172 stitches.

2. Round 2: ch 1 (don’t count as a stitch), dc in the same stitch; sc in next st, dc in next stitch, sc in next st. Repeat - until you reach the corners. Crochet the corners as follows:

if the 2nd stitch of the corner is single crochet: dc, sc, dc, and sc in the 3rd stitch of the corner, then continue to repeat *-*.
if the 2nd stitch of the corner is double crochet: sc, dc, sc and a dc in the 3rd stitch of the corner, sc in the next stitch, then continue to repeat *-*.

Slip stitch to close the round. In round 2 you should have 180 stitches.

3. Round 3: ch 1 (don’t count as a stitch), sc in the same stitch, dc in next stitch, sc in next stitch). Repeat -* making sure to crochet the corners as you did in the previous round. Slip stitch to close the round. You should have 188 stitches.

4. Round 4: repeat round 2; you should have 196 stitches.

5. Round 5: repeat round 3; you should have 204 stitches.

6. Round 6: repeat round 2; you should have 212 stitches.

If you’ve made this crochet dish washcloth set I recommend washing the clothes 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.
