Bouncy Bubbly Crochet Pattern for a Dishcloth

July 25, 2014 · Rhelena · 8 Comments

Here is the “bouncy bubbly” crochet pattern for a dishcloth to go with this Bouncy Bubbly Kitchen Towel. The pattern is for a smaller dishcloth, but you could easily increase the size and crochet up a placemat or even a kitchen rug.

The texture of the dishcloth makes this for a natural dish scrubbie. It’s a solid texture, which means it will take longer to dry after using. So make sure to hang it up after each use to prevent any foul smells from occurring.

Make a bunch for your kitchen and bathroom, as well as a bunch to go in with your handmade gift baskets! It’s perfect not only for gifting, but for cleaning up your yarn stash as well.

The Stitch Pattern

The bead stitch is made by inserting your crochet hook into the previous row, You pull up a loop and then make a few chains through the first loop before pulling through both loops to secure the stitch.

It is fairly easy to make and it forms little bead-like textures on the fabric. I combined the bead stitch with rows of single crochets and chain one spaces to help keep the fabric loose.

I find the stitch a bit tedious to make, but the final result is well worth it!

The Yarn

I used Bernat Handicrafter Cotton, a medium worsted weight cotton yarn. It’s durable and perfect for washing and scrubbing even the toughest dishes.

Lily Sugar ‘n’ Cream is a good substitute, but Red Heart, Lion Brand and other yarn companies also sell great dishcloth cottons.

The reason for cotton yarn is that it is much more durable that acrylics and other yarns.

    I love this and am going to do it now. The only change I would make is to always do dishcloths with acrylic. Cotton turns soft with water, acrylic scrubs really well and removes grease better.

      Susan that’s a good tip. I had no idea you could do dishcloths in acrylic and only crocheted them in cotton up until now. Will definitely try it in acrylic for the next cloth. Thanks so much for the tip. :)

        You are welcome Rhelena. I figured this out on soap savers — the little pouches you make to put bars of soap into to make it last longer. Cotton thread disintegrated rapidly and 4-ply cotton just soaked up all of the soap and became a mess. Acrylic works perfectly. It stretches when wet, so you need to do a really tight pattern for soap savers or dish clothes.

        May be oK in dish water with Acrylic, but when you try to wipe off the kitchen counter, you’ll wish you were using cotton.

          All of my towels are cotton and that works wonderfully — the more they’re washed, the softer and more absorbent they get. I scrub with the acrylic, wipe up or dry with cotton, one in each hand. This is a gorgeous pattern too.

    I love this pattern and really would like to make it, however I am having problems making the bead stitch. Can you or anyone else show a video of this or explain in a different way. Thanks!
