Welcome to our very last dishcloth for the Spring Cleaning Dishcloth CAL 2019! Here is #8 – Vanessa’s Dishcloth. This cloth uses the pretty puff stitch in a very elegant way. We’ll work 2 puff stitches into the same st/sp to create a cluster. This type of grouping...

Warm up your hooks for our 7th dishcloth of the Spring Cleaning Dishcloth CAL 2019! This week we’ll incorporate more post stitches and work them into clusters. By careful positioning of your stitches, we will create lovely textured columns. I love the look of this...

Presenting Dishcloth #6! How are we doing on our dishcloths so far? I’ve been seeing so many lovely cloths, it’s really inspiring! Colors and color placement makes such a difference and adds to the variety of each cloth. Today, we’ll use the post stitch in combination...

Can you believe that we are now half way through our Dishcloth CAL? Only 4 more cloths to go! So far we’ve worked post stitches in a couple of different ways to achieve different looks and textures. So – how about we really jazz it up this time??? Let’s get a little...

Welcome to our 4th project for the Spring Cleaning Dishcloth CAL. We are finishing up the second week of our CAL, and I’ve seen so many lovely dishcloths. They seem too pretty to use, but believe me – they are great for all those dirty dishes. Since we’re exploring...

Here is the 3rdinstallment of our Spring Cleaning Dishcloth CAL. I hope you have enjoyed the first week of our CAL. The previous 2 dishcloths were fairly easy to work and showed us that texture can be created in different ways. Today’s dishcloth, however, will bring...

Welcome to the 2nd installment of our Dishcloth CAL.  Erin’s Dishcloth brings us a simple, yet effective texture. Not all texture is bulky or layered. Sometimes, just a combination of basic stitches can result in a beautiful and textured fabric. This dishcloth...

Welcome to Day 1 of the Spring Cleaning Dishcloth CAL! This year I decided to design our cloths with texture. Some have a little – some have a lot – but they all have some. Texture doesn’t always mean post stitches or popcorn stitches. There are so many different...

Here is our final dishcloth pattern for the Spring Cleaning Dishcloth CAL 2018!  Aptly named - as we will double up on the double crochet stitches. This design makes nice, clean lines and works up quickly. I made mine in one solid color, but multi-colors and...

We’ve almost got our nice set of dishcloths complete. Only one more after this one, and it will be published later today. Mod Teresa chose today’s dishcloth. If you know anything about Teresa, you know that she loves owls, so her choice should not surprise you. Teresa...

This dishcloth was designed in honor of my Aunt Becky. She was the younger of my dad’s two sisters. She was only 8 years older than me, so she was like a big sister. I loved visiting her at my grandparent’s farm. She always had a large stash of Archie comic books that...

Today's dishcloth uses chain loops in a way that brings texture to the cloth. Texture is important when scrubbing dishes, so I try to incorporate some in many of my dishcloth designs. This particular stitch is very easy to work and also just looks pretty. You can work...

Today’s dishcloth was chosen by Mod Robin. Robin has been crocheting since 2011. If you look at her Ravelry projects, you will see that she has 1,230 projects listed. That’s amazing for someone who has been crocheting for a relatively short time. And that’s only the...

Today's dishcloth is named after my Aunt Carolyn. My dad had two younger sisters, and Carolyn was the older of the two. She grew up to marry my Uncle Dale, and they had six children. There were five kids in my family, so when we all got together, there was never a...

Today’s dishcloth is designed in honor of my Aunt Margaret. The pattern incorporates some fun special stitches and definitely reminds me of her. She was such a fun person to be around, and I imagine that if she had ever crocheted, she would have been a crochet...

Good Monday morning everyone. I hope you had a great weekend with some yarn on your hook. We are starting our second week of the Spring Cleaning Dishcloth CAL, and I hope you are all caught up. Today’s dishcloth is a little involved – but well worth the time and...

Hi everyone! I hope you are enjoying the CAL so far. I have lots of fun dishcloths to share with you in the coming days. If you are too busy (and aren't we all these days) or just can't remember to check in here on pattern day - you can always purchase the e-Book...

Today's dishcloth is a Mod's Choice. Berniece is a long time Ravelry group member and my very first Mod. She's been with me since 2011 and so far I haven't run her off yet. Just shows you what a patient, caring person she is. She's tested so many of my patterns - she...

Today begins our Spring Cleaning Dishcloth CAL! Yes, I know I went nuts this year. I was waiting on some yarn to be delivered for a design project, and of course I had to crochet something. After all - I did have a red hot hook in my hand. So two days later, we have 8...

In memory of my little sister, Karen Lynn Lawler. Love you, Karen. This pattern is named after my younger sister Karen. She's a foster mother, an adoptive mother, and she also crochets. This was a housewarming gift for her. SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate Beginner...

This pattern is named after my paternal grandmother, Ida Witte Krueger. It was her mother who planted the rose bush mentioned in another post. Granny Krueger sewed and cooked, but I always remembered her for three things. 1) She always cooked up what seemed to be a...

Here's a pattern named after my mother. She is my best friend. She taught me how to cook and I still love to cook today. Mama always fed us a good hot breakfast every morning before school. She would let us drink coffee with lots of milk and sugar added. I still love...

This pattern is named after my maternal grandmother Alwine Nauert Goerdel (pronounced Al-ween). She just recently passed away. I have so many fond memories of her. She taught me how to sew and cook. She sewed lots of clothes for my sisters and I. My favorite dress was...

Here's another dishcloth for today. I've worked up several and named them after family members. This one is named for my sister Kathleen. She is 2 years older than me and I always looked up to her. We were on the drill team together in high school and had a lot of...

You will love how the ridges on this cloth not only give it a beautiful, lacey look, but also give it a nice scrubbing texture. Your kitchen will be decorated beautifully, and your dishes will be spic-n-span! SPIC-N-SPAN DISHCLOTH Designed by Melinda Miller...
