Little Nubby Dishcloth is a beginner-friendly crochet pattern that works up quickly in worsted weight cotton, producing a satisfyingly textured fabric that scrubs and absorbs in equal measure.

• Finished with a crocheted edging that tidies all edges and adds a polished look
• Flat construction, no joining, no seaming
• Written pattern only, no charts required
• Ideal first project for new crocheters or a reliable palate-cleanser between larger makes
