64 Free Crochet Dishcloth Patterns

My readers love free crochet dishcloth patterns! This post includes more than 64 free crochet dishcloth patterns for you to choose from.

Why do people love crochet dishcloths?

To try new crochet stitches.
To practice new crochet techniques.
To see how a yarn you have works with a stitch pattern you like, before you commit to making a larger project!
Each dishcloth pattern is like a mini-stitch pattern swatch – you get to try stitches out before choosing one to make a larger project and you still have a finished item you can use or give as a gift.
Crochet dishcloths are surprisingly effective as dishcloths! They work really well and you can choose how large, or how small you make it AND what colors you use!
Crochet dishcloths are highly giftable – everyone can use a dishcloth!
They make great roadtrip crochet projects because of their size.
You can use them for other things too! Like small plant mats or small table covers.
They are super affordable to make and give as gifts (or keep for yourself).
You can use and reuse a crochet dishcloth. This makes them good for the environment too – less waste than sponges and disposable cloths and brushes!

Over the past few years I have created hundreds of crochet pattern roundups. I request permission to use the images from the Designers and Companies too. I also try to go through and update the links – so you can still visit them years after I first create the post. If you find any link that is not working please let me know so I can investigate and FIX it 🙂

I have included my most popular crochet dishcloth pattern roundups below. Once you click to the post you want to visit, you will see a collage image of the dishcloths included in the roundup. Beneath the image you will find a clickable list of the Dishcloths included in the image. Simply click the title of the dishcloth you want to make to be taken directly to the free dishcloth pattern.
