Peachy Keen Dishcloth
A free version is also available.
Add a little texture to your daily routine with the beautiful Peachy Keen Dishcloth. This fun design uses a combination of simple stitches to achieve a beautiful and feminine fabric without a lot of fuss. A simple one row repeat creates the design, then chose your finish with or without a hanging loop.
Peachy Keen Dishcloth is a cheerful, one-piece crochet dishcloth worked flat from edge to edge, sized perfectly for the kitchen or bath. Designed for the advanced beginner crocheter, this pattern builds confidence with a satisfying stitch pattern that goes beyond basic single crochet while staying totally approachable.
Construction and Technique
• Worked flat in one piece, no seaming required
• Square format, easy to block to a tidy finish
• Stitch pattern creates light surface texture, ideal for scrubbing and drying
• Simple, rhythmic repeat that works up quickly in a single sitting
Materials
• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton, such as I Love This Cotton! by Hobby Lobby
• Yardage: 70-75 yards (approximately 64-69 m) per dishcloth
• Hook: US Size H 8.0 (5 mm)
• Gauge: 15 sts x 12 rows = 4” (10 cm) in stitch pattern
• Notions: Yarn needle for weaving ends, scissors
Sizing
• One size, 8” (20 cm) square finished dimensions
• Cotton fabric blooms slightly after washing, so a quick wet block gives the crispest result
What’s Included
• Written English instructions for the full dishcloth
• Stitch counts provided at key intervals
• Notes on yarn substitution and cotton weight guidance
This makes a lovely handmade gift on its own or tucked into a kitchen-themed basket. A single skein of I Love This Cotton! yields multiple dishcloths, so you can whip up a whole set in a weekend. A warm, practical make from cast-on to bind-off.
