Free Tunisian Crochet Pattern: Simple Summer Dishcloth

July 8, 2015 by Stitch&Unwind

One of our favorite go-to crochet projects around the office is the simple crochet dishcloth.  Not only are crochet dishcloths and easy and portable project, they are the perfect size to try out new stitches and techniques.  If you have not tried yet – learn to Tunisian crochet with this simple but beautiful free crochet dishcloth pattern.  Tunisian crochet is a very fun technique to master, and while it may look intimidating, it really is easy to work. By practicing a new technique on something the size of a dishcloth, you won’t become overwhelmed and you’ll have the bonus of having made something useful.  Crochet dishcloths are perfect for scrubbing at the sink, but we also love them in the bathroom as facecloths.  Don’t be scared to try something new, especially when it comes to Tunisian crochet.
