Stashbuster Striped Crochet Dishcloth

January 3, 2021 · Rhelena · 6 Comments

This striped crochet dishcloth pattern is worked up in a variation of the seed stitch. Instead of working the single crochet and double crochet together into one stitch, I’ve worked the single crochet on top of the double crochet and vice versa.

A striped crochet dishcloth pattern shown in three colors.

Also, I’m using three colors to make it super easy to change colors after each row without having to fasten off. You only need a small amount of yarn in each color.

The stitch pattern was designed to work with three colors, I swear by it! It creates a bit of a drop stitch without having to go down into the row below.

Another beauty of the stitch pattern is that it’s a simple multiple, making it super easy to adjust the size as needed. Make a hotpad, coaster and placemat to match simply by adjusting your starting chains.

    I love your color combination here – it’s very fun! I’ve been testing some thread projects lately and the designer uses the single crochet, double crochet combo to add texture to the items. It’s a great little trick for texture and a neat appearance. Pinned this one!
