Springtime is in the air and while we wait to finally be free of winter coats as the temperature finally starts to warm up. With springtime, one starts also starts to think of spring cleaning.
I mean we do it all the time, cleaning, but spring cleaning seems to be different. Am I right? I guess it has to do with winter ending and we are coming out of our self-imposed hibernation.
We want to clear out what we don’t need anymore, reorganize what we have, and just clean.
Decisions… Decisions…
While these patterns are dishcloths or washcloths, they can be used to clean… anything. It’s great for whatever you need to clean or wipe down.
When creating this pattern, I couldn’t decide if I should make a smooth dishcloth or one that is “scrubby”. Then I thought, do I have to choose? Nah…
First of two dishcloths
I created two patterns using two different types of the Scrubby yarn from Red Heart. I couldn’t choose which one to create. You could choose one to crochet or both! I hope you enjoy crocheting these patterns as I did! If you would like more info on the Scrubby yarn, check out the Yarn 101 post I wrote here.
Second of the two dishcloths
The dishcloth that will be using the Scrubby Smoothie will be using the moss stitch. It’s a pretty go-to stitch for many different types of projects. If you haven’t heard of it, you might have heard of its aliases.
The moss stitch also goes by the name of woven stitch, granite stitch, and linen stitch. If you’ve heard of any of these names or later on do hear about them, they are all the same.
The video tutorial for both patterns is on my YouTube channel and you can find the link after the pattern. If you have a Ravelry account, add this pattern to your library by clicking on the link below.

Stitch abbreviations:

If you want to change the width of the dishcloth, make more chains in the foundation chains for a wider dishcloth. Or fewer chains for a narrower dishcloth but with an even number of chains.

With the different colorways and different types of Scrubby yarns, you can get really creative when crocheting dishcloths or washcloths. These yarns can also be used for hand towels or for projects that have nothing to do with washing or drying dishes or hands.
I’m already thinking of creating a pattern using one of the Scrubby yarns that I never would have thought of before.
