Crochet dish towels make great gifts for housewarming parties or holidays. They are also a fantastic way to customize some of your kitchen decor by matching colors and adding a touch of texture.
I personally love using crocheted dish towels because of their quality. I feel like they actually dry my dishes better than the thin flour sack dish towels.
Plus, they are an extremely fun and easy project!
Today, I’ve put together a list of 20 crochet dish towel patterns for you, using various stitch techniques.
I hope you find something new to make!
