A Textured Stitch Crochet Pattern
This dishcloth uses Catherine’s wheek stitch, which is a very fun project that works quickly! A perfect stash-busting project, using up various colors in worsted-weight yarn.
Inspiration for the Crochet Kitchen Towel Pattern
This spring, I decided to make revamp my kitchen decoration with a touch of mustard color and have made some really beautiful kitchen-appropriate projects.
Best Yarn for a Crochet Kitchen Towel
Crocheting a kitchen towel is most appropriate when made with 100% cotton. This is because cotton yarn is a good absorbent for both heat and water! My favorite is the Dishie yarn
