Crochet Patterns: Dishcloths, Washcloths, and Cleaning Cloths

Posted in Best Crochet Patterns on July 28th, 2016 by Rachel Choi – 8 Comments

Have you ever tried crocheting your own dishcloths, washcloths or other cleaning cloths? If you have, you just might be hooked on them! The feel of a handmade cloth is like nothing else. They can be customized to be any size, shape and color that you want. They’re extremely sturdy and can be washed and reused over and over again.

What’s the difference between dishcloth, washcloth and other cleaning cloth patterns? There really isn’t any difference. You can crochet any of the cloth patterns and decide later what you want to use it for, whether it’s washing dishes, the counter tops, your face and body, or even the car. In this post I rounded up a few of the cleaning cloth patterns that we have here on Crochet Spot.
