A great project for last minute gifts, or just to make yourself some awesome eco cleaning supplies, these great little dishcloths and scrubbers won’t disappoint and they are super quick to make!

Why the shape? Personally I always find that I end up using the corner or edge of a dish cloth, so this way the cloth has more corners to it! Also if you need more bulk from it (which I often find I do when it comes to scrubbies and clothes) folding it over gives you a smaller yet double thickness square which seems to be a perfect size for wiping counters etc :).

This is a single pattern which can be made from any material you like, but here are the three I used and the uses each one has.

• Standard Dishcloth (Cotton): Makes a perfect dishcloth. Soft on dishes and works great for general washing because it’s absorbent and does a good job of gently washing away standard dish grime.
• Multipurpose-Cloth (Linen): These are a little more abrasive, but still gentle enough for everyday cleaning and because this linen is still quite absorbent it holds a decent amount of water & soap. Great for gentle scrubbing and regular cleaning.
• Dish-Scrubby (Hemp): This is a rougher fiber and is great when you need something more abrasive for tougher caked on food that needs a little elbow grease. Not nearly as hard on pans as steel wool, but can still get the job done quite well.

Estimated Project Duration = 1.5 hours (per cloth)
Level: Very Easy

There is a free version of this pattern on my website below which gives you the basic directions.

Or for the full color detailed directions you can buy the step by step Printable PDF Pattern/Mini-course, which includes full detailed directions for each step start to finish for $2 at my etsy store :).
This PDF Pattern (just like all of my other PDF patterns), is laid out more like a mini-course. I progress through showing you what to do next each step of the way with full color images, so that even beginners can follow along without having to wonder how to do the next step.

Happy Knitting!
