Create a beautiful dishcloth using the Suzette stitch crochet technique. This stitch creates a lovely textured pattern that is perfect for dishcloths as it provides both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Crocheting a Suzette stitch dishcloth is a fun and rewarding project that will not only enhance your kitchen but also provide you with a practical and handmade item to use every day.

Materials:

• I (5.5 mm) crochet hook
• 90 yards of medium/#4 weight cotton yarn (I used half of a ball of Pima Cotton by Lion Brand Yarn for each dishcloth)
• Yarn/tapestry needle
• Scissors
• Measuring Tape

Sizing:

• 8 inches wide
• 8 inches tall

Pattern Notes:

• Stitch multiple is any even number.
• To change the width, simply adjust the multiple of your starting chain.
• To change the height, work more/less rows.

Suzette Stitch Crochet Dishcloth Pattern:

• Ch 26 (any even multiple will work)
  Row 1: Work (1 sc, 1 dc) in the second chain from the hook. *Skip a chain, then work (1 sc, 1 dc) into the next chain. Repeat from * across until two chains remain. Skip the next chain, then work a sc into the last chain.
  Row 2: Ch 1 and turn. *Work (1 sc, 1 dc) into the first stitch (located in the center of the little “cluster” of stitches from the previous row). Repeat from * across into each stitch. Work a sc into the last stitch of the row.
  Repeat row 2 until your dishcloth measures about 8 inches tall (or desired height) from the starting edge.

Hanging Loop:

• Chain 10, then work a slip stitch at the base of the chains to create the loop.
• Note: if you need to flip it over to see where to insert the hook, you can try that too. It won’t affect the appearance of the loop.

Finishing:

• Weave in any ends that remain.
