tiny baubles dishcloth pattern

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

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 stitch

Body

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 end

Border

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.

    Oooh, these cloths are nice!!! Love the colours and the pattern – thank you for sharing 🙂 I think I’ll give it a try once I’ve finished my current cloth!

    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.
