The Textured Dishcloth Pattern


Knitting or crocheting dishcloths are useful for exploring various stitch patterns, for personal use, and for gifting. Dishcloths are quick projects that can be knit or crocheted in a few days. This makes them perfect for both beginners and seasoned crafters looking to learn new techniques. Dishcloths can enhance a kitchen décor or add a pop of color to it. Gifting dishcloths for those domestic muses in our lives that give us delicious and soul-satisfying meals is my way of thanking them for their effort and care. Also, knitting or crocheting dishcloths has been meditative and calming for me this winter season.

The Textured Dishcloth is crocheted flat from one corner to another in the granite crochet stitch pattern which is a variation of the crochet moss stitch pattern. It begins with a chain of 2 stitches with an increase of 4 stitches every other row, and then a decrease of 4 stitches every other row till a square shape is formed. The dishcloth is finished with a crochet moss stitch border along with a hanging loop of crochet chain stitches. This dishcloth is a two-row repeat pattern that can be customized to any size. It is beginner friendly and can be used with any worsted weight cotton yarn suitable for dishcloths.

The Favorite Things Cowl Pattern


Change is inevitable, whether we want it or not, and embracing it allows us to move forward with enthusiasm. Whenever I face challenges in decision-making, thinking about my favorite activities brings me joy. I like exploring the yarn aisles at arts and craft stores and choosing beautiful yarn. Spending time knitting or crocheting is also a favorite thing of mine. While it’s true that Jo-Ann stores are closing, I will cherish the memories of browsing their colorful yarn selections. I’ve created some wonderful patterns using Jo-Ann yarns, like The Long Striped Crochet Scarf and The Unexpected Find Wrap. I, of course, had to stock up on some Jo-Ann store-brand yarn before the store closes. Every time I knit or crochet with these yarns, I will fondly remember the joy of exploring their yarn aisles.

The Favorite Things Cowls are bandana-style cowls crocheted flat with a variation of the crochet moss stitch pattern. One uses K + C yarn and the other uses Loops and Threads yarn. Both start with a chain of 2 and are increased every other row to form a triangle. The cowl lengths are then extended without any row increases. One cowl is extended over 2 inches long, and the other over 3 inches. The edges of the extended section are joined, and a fringe is added at the end. These cowls are quick one-skein projects, perfect for keeping the neck warm and cozy.

The Berry Bunches Scarf is a flat rectangular scarf in the crochet suzette stitch pattern. It’s a fun and quick project that is a combination of single and double crochet.
