Crochet or Knit a Dishcloth
Crystal Miller
![]()
Are you looking for an easy crochet or knit project? Then making dishcloths
might just be the answer for you. I have crocheted several of them and knit a
couple too. I have been crocheting for years and only recently have gotten more
serious about learning how to knit and I find this to be an easy project that
gives me a lot of good practice.
To make them you will need cotton yarn. I buy the brand but I know there are
other brands available. One little skein typically makes one washcloth. I have
found the selection of yarn at my local Walmart to be rather limited so I have
started ordering my yarn online. My favorite online resource for yarn has been
The Knitting Warehouse. Their prices are reasonable, shipping is reasonable and
quick.
