Need an easy crochet dishcloth pattern? This pattern uses the lemon peel stitch (alternating single and double crochet stitches) to create a beautiful pattern!
This pattern is just alternating a single crochet stitch and a double crochet stitch (also known as the lemon peel stitch).
I didn’t add an edging around this dishcloth to keep it easy but feel free to add one if you wish.
Don’t forget a matching crochet dish towel!

Keep in mind with this crochet pattern: at the end of each row, you will end with a double crochet. You will start every row with a single crochet.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
- cotton yarn
- H hook
- scissors
- yarn needle
PATTERN:
Row 1: Chain 31. Single crochet into the second chain from the hook. Double crochet into the next chain. Continue alternating single crochet and double crochet until you reach the end. The last stitch should be a double crochet.
Row 2: Turn your work and chain 1. Single crochet then double crochet across until you reach the end. Your last stitch will be a double crochet.
Row 3 – 23: Repeat row 2 to until you get to row 23. Once you reach row 23, cut your yarn and weave in your ends.
All done!
