![How to Crochet Granny Stitch Dishcloth | Crochet Washcloth Pattern for Beginners | EyeLoveKnots
Learn how to crochet an easy crochet washcloth featuring the cute and classic granny stitch pattern in 7 sizes with this video tutorial using your favorite worsted weight cotton yarn. This washcloth is a great project to work in a solid color, or bust out your yarn scraps and work in fun stripes or a color block pattern.
There is no doubt that handmade washcloths are great for washing dishes with, and also feel fantastic against the skin in the shower, though worked in the classic granny stitch pattern, I do question if the soap would go right through the holes or if Id get annoyed at feeling the other side of things against my hands through the holes?
For me, the lacy stitch pattern of these granny stitch washcloths makes for a beautiful, decorative washcloth to display in the kitchen or bathroom, use as a doily or even as a coaster or use just for drying off hands and dishes and not washing anything with it UNTIL you see my upcoming update that I am working on with Stitch Soak Scrub Yarn from my Yarn Crafts and Coffee yarn shop to make these better for washing dishing and using in the shower - stay tuned!
The most common washcloth size is 8β³ by 8β³, but I know everybody has their size preferences so I aim to have square sizes from 4β³ to 10β³.

Youll need 25 (30, 45, 60, 65, 80, 110) Yards of Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn β I used Queensland Cotton Coastal in the Cobalt and Malachite [Green] colorways, an H8/5mm crochet hook and tapestry needle.

Material Notes:
Yarn Alternative: WeCrochet Dishie Yarn
Linen also makes for a really lovely washcloth. It gets strong when wet, and gets softer and nicer with each wash. Linen blends often combine with cotton to add softness.
Originally, I used Lily Sugar n Cream Yarn in Bright Yellow and Blueberry (as shown in the intro of the video). In Queensland Coastal Cotton, Lemon and Calypso look similar.

If you experience ruffling when working the border, this is caused from a change in tension, especially seen on the sides. My quick fix is to simply go down a hook size. You can also continue with the same hook youβve been working with, and just block the finished washcloth. Usually, I run into this issue, but with the Queensland Coastal Cotton, I did not so I kept the same hook throughout.
Time Spent:
I had the 7β³ in just under 45 minutes.
Sizes:
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Gauge - Measured in Pattern:
- 5 clusters + spaces aka 15 stitches = 4 1/8 wide
- 8 Rows = 4 tall
When working the pattern, the border will add about 1/2β³ to the width and height. After working about 4 β 6 rows, you can measure the width, add in the border, and you will know if the finished size will be where you want it to be. The height is even easier to see as you can measure as you go, and stop when you get close to your desired height making sure to figure in the border.
