How does that song go? Tiny baubles… and some wine… make me happy… make me feel fine!
Oh, wait. It’s tiny bubbles? Hmm. Well, I like tiny bubbles in my wine almost as much as I like this dishcloth pattern. This is one of those “no brainer” patterns that you can work up while watching your favorite TV show and not worry about missing a minute.
This pattern makes a dishcloth that is thick and absorbent, and the baubles have good scrubbing power. I also like that the pattern appears on both sides of the cloth. I hope you enjoy it!
Tiny Baubles Dishcloth
Size: 8″ x 8″
Materials:
- Main color (MC): 1 ball of worsted weight cotton (such as Sugar ‘n Cream)
- Contrasting color (CC): small amount of worsted weight cotton
- Size H crochet hook (5 mm.)
Stitches used:
Ch = chain
Sc = single crochet
DC = double crochet
HDC = half double crochet
Sl st = slip stitchBody
With MC, Ch 26 (for a larger cloth, chain as many as you need, as long as it’s an even number)
Row 1: SC in 2nd chain from hook and in each chain across — 25 stitches. Ch 1, turn.
Row 2: SC in 2nd chain from hook, *DC through back loop, SC*, repeat between the *s to the end of the row. Ch 1, turn
Rows 3-21: Repeat Row 2
Row 22: SC to endBorder
Beginning in a corner, join CC and Ch 2. Work 1 HDC in each stitch and row around, working 3 HDC in each corner. Join the last stitch and first stitch with a Sl st. (A picot border would look cute on this too.)
Break yarn and weave ends.

My mother has been making blankets etc. for years using this exact same stitch. I have come up with my own variation. How would I go about copyrighting?
I have a question on the pattern: Is the DC and then SC done in the same stitch? Or is the DC in one, and the SC in the next one?
Thank you.
I had the same question when I first read it. But I have done it a few times, and it is DC in one, and SC in the next.
perfect little dishcloth! love the texture, my new go- to pattern. thank-you so much for sharing!
