The Three Color Simple Stitch Crochet Dishcloth is the next in our 4 Quick and Easy Crochet Dishcloth Patterns series. Although the stitch pattern is simple, the color changes give this dishcloth a bright and cheery look. Of course, if you prefer, it can be worked all in one color too!

What is the stitch “ch-1 sp” in this pattern? I new to crocheting and have never seen this terminology before. Thank you
I’m trying to gauge how dumb I am right now, because I pulled up this pattern but almost none of the abbreviations are familiar and you don’t have a legend and the legend converter you provided doesn’t have your abbreviations. //ded
I’m still quite new to crochet. Could you provide a complete legend?
Finally, I found this to crochet Textured Dishcloth and Simple Stitch Dishcloth with Premier Home Cotton with rainbow. Beautiful. I tried to paste a picture of 2 completed dishcloths but I could not.
How do you go about joining colors?
Hi love the colors you used. If you don’t mind me asking what is the color names you used? I have those colors but they don’t seem to be the right shades and look awful together. Lol.
Hi Victoria 🙂 Unfortunately, this yarn has been discontinued by Knit Picks … it was their organic cotton.
For those of us who don’t understand the chrochet symbols, it would be nice if we had a chart or something to learn the stitches!
Is the Happy Crochet Dishcloth Pattern the same as the textured dishcloth? I like to add everything I make to Ravelry but can’t find it on your page in Ravelry. Thanks
I actually forgot to add that one to Ravelry!! Thanks so much for the heads up … I added it now … http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/happy-dishcloth-2
Hi, I love these patterns and the pretty colors. What kind of yarn did you use for these?
Why is it so hard to print here? I did get one pattern printed but oh my I sure didn’t want a pic the size of my paper. Isn’t there a way to print smaller pics?
thanks so much
Hi Gloria 🙂 At the bottom of the post there is a printing icon. It should let you choose and eliminate parts of the post you can print. Hope that helps.
