I do love a simple pattern for dishcloths.  This is a variation of my go-to pattern, which can be found here.  As always, you may use the pattern below to make your own, or you can hop over to Hamlin Craftworks and buy a few!

For this pattern, I use Lily Sugar ‘n Cream cotton yarn and an H hook.

Chain 29

Row 1:  DC in third chain from hook and dc across.  Turn.  (27)
Row 2-12: Chain 2 (doesn’t count as a stitch), dc in first stitch and each stitch across.  Turn.  (27)

For the border, you can change colors or not, whichever you prefer.  Work sc around the edges, with 1 sc in each stitch along the top and bottom, 3 sc in each corner, and 2 sc in each dc along the sides.

Finish off.

For me, this pattern works up to be roughly 9″ by 8″, which I think is a good size for a dishcloth.  The size is easily adjusted by adding or removing chains or rows to get the size you desire.

Happy hooking!
