Crochet Dishcloth Pattern – Intermittent Open Stitch

This quick and easy crochet dishcloth pattern is the perfect addition to your kitchen or any handmade gift basket! It works up in a matter of time so you can make a bunch for when you need them.

The dishcloth is crocheted up in an intermittent open stitch pattern, which makes it quicker to dry. Another thing to help speed up the drying process is the mercerized cotton yarn, called 24/7 Cotton by Lion Brand.

I used less than a ball of yarn. You can use up scrap pieces and add stripes if you like. Either way, this crocheted dishcloth is perfect for the kitchen, bathroom, or for use around the home.
