Today I’ll be sharing my Waffle Stitch Dishcloth Pattern with you. I fell in love with the waffle stitch, so I knew there were going to be more patterns using this stitch in the future. My most popular pattern using this stitch is my Waffle Blanket. You can view the pattern here. I also made the Waffle Stitch Scarf, which you can view the pattern here. The waffle stitch dishcloth uses the same concept, only on a smaller scale. This is a great stitch because the holes not only give you more scrubbing power, but it also helps the dishcloth dry faster.
For today’s tutorial, you will need cotton yarn (I’m using Lily Sugar ‘N Cream) and a size I-9 crochet hook (I’m using Clover Amour). The finished dishcloth measures 10×10. However, you can customize this dishcloth to be wider or longer depending on your preference. Gather up your supplies and let’s begin!

VIDEO TUTORIAL:
PATTERN:
Chain 35 (or any multiple of 3+2)
ROW 1: Make a dc into the 3rd chain from your hook and in each chain across. Chain 1 and turn.
ROW 2: Work a dc into the very first stitch. *In the next stitch, work a fpdc, work 1 dc in the next 2 stitches. Repeat from * across until 1 stitch remains. Work a fpdc in the last stitch and 1 dc into the top of the turning chain. Chain 1 and turn.
ROW 3: Work a dc into the very first stitch. *Work a dc in the next stitch and a fpdc in the next two stitches. Repeat from * to last two stitches. Next, work 1 dc into each of the remaining 2 stitches. Chain 1 and turn.
Repeat ROWS 2 and 3 until dishcloth measures 8×8 or desired length. Be sure to end on a row 2 for a neat edge.
BORDER: Chain 1 and turn. Sc around entire dishcloth making sure to put 3 scs into each corner. Join to beginning sc. Fasten off and weave in ends.
