A good dishcloth.. my beloved red, white and blue?  And BAM .. the perfect Patriotic Crochet Dishcloth! crochet dishcloth in red white and blue

There’s lots to love about this practical, rugged dishcloth.  It’s a perfect little extra in your kitchen for that 4th of July cookout.  I don’t know about you, but something pretty and cheerful just brightens a chore that’s not my favorite.

The Patriotic Crochet Dishcloth might just be the easiest crochet dishcloth on the planet.  It uses 2 strands of yarn held together.  Bigger stitches means a quicker project!  Seriously. I didn’t time it, but this is one fast project,  my friends. And a simple single crochet makes it also an easy beginner project. The color transitions do mean a few more ends to weave in, but the effect is well worth it, I think!

Dishcloth is made using a double thickness of yarn.  Before starting, wind small balls of each color so that you can work with two strands of yarn at once.  When the instructions say to “drop a strand”, simply leave a few inches of yarn for weaving in later and cut the yarn.

R1: sc in 2nd chain from hook and across each chain. Turn. (24 st)
