Seashell Dishcloth | Free Crochet Pattern


This crocheted dishcloth is the next pattern in my Spring Dishcloth Collection! It seems a bit too pretty to use...but nevermind that! It is a joy to make, and a pleasure to use.


Materials:

  • Approximately 32 grams/65 yards of any cotton yarn (sample uses WeCrochet Dishie in Silver)

  • Size H (5.5mm) crochet hook

  • Scissors

  • Yarn Needle to weave in ends

  • Ruler to check gauge if desired

Gauge:

It is not necessary to achieve a certain gauge for this project, but if you want the same dimensions as the sample I suggest checking.


14 double crochet stitches by 6 rows = 4 inches in double crochet worked flat


Abbreviations:

ch: chain

sc: single crochet

dc: double crochet

sk: skip

st(s): stitch(es)

f/o: finish off

*...*: repeat the designated number of times


Pattern Notes:

  • Find the yarn used for the sample here.

  • Follow along with the full video tutorial: https://youtu.be/hB0MCqH5f34

  • The ch 3 at the beginning of each row counts as a double crochet stitch. It will allow the edges to remain nice and straight.

  • When worked to pattern, your dishcloth will measure approximately 7 ½ inches wide by 7 ½ inches tall.

  • A full shell consists of 5 dc sts, and a half shell consists of 3 dc sts and is used on the edges.
