It’s been so long since I designed a dishcloth pattern so I thought I would start in on some new bird themed designs. What better bird to start with than my favorite black capped chickadee?

This cricket dishcloth is the last of my bug themed dishcloths! It was a request made by my sister, her business name for all her crafty things is “Cozy Cricket Crafts” hence the cricket. I know it’s not the same as her cricket but I like to stick close to the real cricket even though I know I’m missing some things.

I tried to make a beetle dishcloth but that didn’t turn out too well, the end result was this little bug. It looks kind of like a shield bug I suppose, but not quite.

This scrubby works out to approx. 3.5” x 3.5”. You can use it as a dish scrubby or a face scrubby. I thought it would be cool to make some scrubbys to go along with my dishcloths.

Since I live in the wonderful state of Maine I thought it would be nice to add the state bird to my collection. Mosquitoes are only good to feed the fish and that’s about it.

This was my solution to my “leftovers” for my skeins of cotton. I didn’t have enough yarn to make a full dishcloth so I decided to make a scrubby and use up my scraps. It’s a mini version of my Busy Bee Dishcloth pattern. I hope you all enjoy!

If you are from Maine like me you know that one of the worst seasons in Maine is black fly season. They’re so bad they get their own season so I thought maybe they should get their own dishcloth as well.

Betty Butterfly has joined the other bugs on my dishcloths! This pattern includes a chart and written instructions.

This cute little caterpillar dishcloth is one of my many bug dishcloth patterns. Ideally you should use a 100% cotton yarn. This pattern is written and includes a chart. The chart is made in colors instead of symbols, I personally find it easier to read that way.

This adorable ant dishcloth decided it needed to be a part of my bug dishcloth patterns so here he is. For the best possible dishcloth use 100% cotton, I’ve noticed that the mixed cotton yarn tends to become ‘greasy’ over time.

Drago the Dragonfly is happily catching all the little bugs he can as he flies about the garden. Dragonflies happen to be one of my favorites because they like to eat the black flies and mosquitoes that we dislike so much here in Maine

This Little Ladybug is the third in my bugs dishcloth designs! This pattern is written and includes a chart. The chart is made in colors instead of symbols, I personally find it easier to read that way. I recommend using 100% cotton yarn for dishcloths instead of a cotton blend, personally I think the cotton blend feels greasy when you use it f...

This cute little garden spider is another addition to my bug dishcloths. It makes a good gift and is a quick pattern to work up. It takes an hour to two hours to make depending on how quickly you work. The pattern is both a chart and written depending on which method you prefer to use, or even both. It is a one color pattern, however, I used co...

This fun little bee is a quick and easy pattern to work up and should take roughly one to two hours to complete. The design was inspired by the return of the bees this spring.

This a simple ear saver that can be worked up in half an hour to an hour. There are two PDF’s, one includes tutorial pictures for certain parts and the other is a more printer friendly version.

I felt it was time to add some creepy crawly little bugs to my dishcloths. The tick has to be one of my least favorite insects but it also interests me the most oddly enough.
