Granny Stripe Crochet Dishcloth Pattern

It has been forever since I made a crochet dishcloth, so I thought the time had come to make a new one. This time around, I decided to make a Granny Stripe dishcloth.

The Granny Stripe Stitch is a play on the granny square.

I have yet to tackle granny squares due to the time involved in making small little squares to make a big project. Plus, I don’t have any way to block them.

As you can see, the Granny Stripe uses the clusters of the granny square to create a beautiful design.

I made mine all in one color; however, multiple colors would be gorgeous.

Supplies for making a Granny Stripe Crochet Dishcloth

Always use 100% cotton yarn. Acrylic yarn does not soak up water like cotton does. Acrylic can also be scratchy and can possibly scratch dinnerware and glassware.

If you need help keep track of those rows, I recommend using Susan Bates Digital Row Counter. It works like a charm.

Tip: The starting chain for this dishcloth is a multiple of 3 plus 1. Should you alter the pattern, you will need to know this.
