Slanted Cluster Crochet Dishcloth Pattern

January 29, 2021 · Rhelena · Leave a Comment

This crochet dishcloth pattern is worked up in the slanted cluster stitch, also known as the bead stitch. It’s a lovely textured stitch worked in between a few rows of plain stitches, which makes it great for a dishcloth.

A stitch multiple is provided so you can easily adjust the size of this as you need to. Make a small coaster or a placemat to match. Another option would be for a table runner. Or, if you line the back of it you could also use this as a hot pad.

The slanted cluster stitch tends to slant the fabric a bit, but you can block it out. It’s a beautiful stitch, which makes it totally worth the extra efforts.

I’ve also included a short video tutorial below the written pattern showing how to work the slanted cluster.
