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.

Love this Kara! I’ve been following your dishcloth posts this summer and they are ALL good. I love the colors you chose. Thanks for sharing at Hookin On Hump Day!
Hi,
I am the person behind dishandwashclothmania.com and would like your permission to add links to your patterns onto my site. I am very strict about obeying copyright laws and only add links, not patterns. Thank you for considering my request.
I did attempt to read your Terms of Use but received an error message.
Yes, you absolutely may. I am honored to be included!
Hi,
This looks like a great pattern. I will be using it in the couple of weeks.
Thank you for sharing it.
Hi Kara,
I am hoping to enlarge this and make it into a prop blanket for a photog friend. Thanks for the great “textured” pattern. Textured was the one thing that she said that she wanted!
I want to thank you for the nice patterns. I do not crochet near as what I used to. The reason I made these is that your finished projects always look so professional. Believe me, that is important. Any way, you started me up again. I thank you.
It’s beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure, Alexis! Hope you enjoy it 🙂
I love this pattern! It worked up quick and the texture is perfect.
Thanks for sharing.
I’m so glad to hear that, Lori!
Hi Kara. This is a very nice dishcloth. Once again – thanks for sharing your pattern with us. 🙂
Glad you like it, Debi!
Hi Kara !
The pattern is beautiful !
But for those who speaks other language, it’s a little more complicate to follow the explanation…graphics are understandable for everybody !
But I will try your pattern…
Have a great day !

I know, Anna, I am sorry about that 🙁 So far I haven’t had much luck finding programs that easily allow me to make stitch diagrams. Do you know of any? I would love to start including them with my patterns.
Nice pattern !! thanks for sharing ! 🙂 If I replace sc with dc and dc with tr, will this work the same way? I usually work with a thinner yarn.
I think that might make the dishcloth too lacy, but it may work. Perhaps doubling up the strands of yarn would work better 🙂
