This free textured crochet dishcloth pattern creates a beautifully textured fabric using just two basic stitches—single crochet and double crochet. Although the stitch pattern looks intricate, it’s surprisingly easy to work, making this a great crochet dishcloth for beginners who are ready to practice simple stitch combinations.
Made with worsted-weight cotton yarn, the finished dishcloth measures approximately 8 inches square. The repeating stitch pattern creates a thick, textured fabric that’s both pretty and practical for everyday kitchen use.
I’ve included written instructions along with a video tutorial to help you work the textured crochet stitch. Once you get the repeat down, the pattern works up quickly and is easy to memorize.
This pattern is part of my collection of 4 Quick and Easy Crochet Dishcloth Patterns. If you need a refresher before getting started, see my tutorials for how to single crochet and how to double crochet.

It looks and sounds like the Wattle Stitch?
Can you use the foundation single crochet for this?
I did. However, instead of the last fsc in the starting row, I used a chain 1. (I used a different starting number than the designer, since I have finer yarn, but had I planned to do the 26 starting chains in fsc, I would have done 25fsc+ch1. I’m no expert but but it worked!)
Recently, I remembered a shawl I crocheted from a pattern in a crochet magazine from over a decade ago (I no longer have the shawl to use as a reference). I have been wracking my brain to remember the stitch pattern. I think this is it! I’m so excited to have found this dishcloth pattern, because now I have the stitch pattern that I loved from that shawl.
Thank you so much. Looks very enjoyable. Gives me something to look forward too.
This pattern was very easy for my beginner self to follow and the dish cloth that I made is so beautiful. Im back to make more because I haven’t found another pattern that makes a cloth as beautiful as this. I struggle to read patterns and this one I was able to follow. Thanks for sharing it.
