Spring has almost sprung, so I’ve been working on some fun, flower crochet patterns lately!
This Flower Dishcloth pattern features a simple, flower design using 2 colors of cotton yarn. It also has a beautiful shell/scallop/ruffled border!
All you need is a bit of cotton yarn in 2 colors! This is a great stash busting project since it uses minimal yarn!
Each cloth measures about 7.5″ x 7.5″ and uses only basic crochet stitches! If you know how to make color changes, then you can make this pattern, even if you’re a beginner!
Even if you don’t know how to make color changes, that’s ok! I’ve included a step by step video tutorial for this pattern! You can find it HERE!

What’s the best yarn for crochet dishcloths?
I always use 100% cotton yarn for my crochet dishcloths and wash cloths.
Cotton yarn is durable and machine washable, making it the perfect choice for an item like a dishcloth that will be used and washed a lot.
For my Flower Dishcloths I used 3 different cotton yarns from my stash.
Since this pattern only uses about 60 yards of yarn, this is a great stash busting project!
Check your stash and see of you have any leftover skeins of cotton yarn!
The yellow yarn I used is WeCrochet/KnitPicks Dishie in the color Butterscotch. Dishie is by far my favorite cotton yarn! It has a great feel, good thickness, and is available in a large variety of colors. Check out Dishie yarn HERE.
The rainbow-y yarn is I Love This Cotton in the color Easter Nova. I find it to be one of the softest cotton yarns I’ve tried, but it’s also a bit thinner too. It also comes in a large variety of colors. This variegated color way adds even more fun and interest to this Flower Dishcloth, don’t you think?!
For dishcloths I much prefer Dishie but would use I Love This Cotton for face or wash cloths, since it’s softer.
The white and purple yarn I used is Crafter’s Secret Cotton in Ivory and Lavender. It’s not quite as soft as the other 2 yarns, which I don’t mind for a dishcloth. It comes in a large variety of colors as well.
Other cotton yarns you can use are Lily Sugar n’ Cream, Circulo Natural Cotton, or Loops & Threads Classic Cotton.

Notes
- Instructions between *asterisks* are to be repeated until the end of the round.
- At the end of each row, CH 1 & turn. The CH 1 does not count as a ST.
- This pattern includes both written instructions and a graph. You can follow along with one or both.
- Written Instructions: each row will have an arrow beside it telling you which direction that row will be worked. When working on the right side (RS) you will see ‘<’. When working on the wrong side (WS) you will see ‘>’. Make sure all loose ends are on the wrong side.
- From Row 2 on, only SC stitches are used. This pattern is written in simplified terms, so each row will tell you the color to use and the number of stitches for that color. Ex. A10, B3, A10, means SC 10 with Color A, SC 3 with Color B, then SC 10 with Color A again.
- Changing Color: change color on the last SC before a new color starts. Start your last SC as usual, before the final pull through, drop the current color, then pull through the 2 loops on your hook with the new color. The next SC you work will be the first of the new color.
- Carrying Yarn: I carried the non-working yarn through the working stitch to avoid cutting + attaching yarn or using multiple bobbins. Feel free to use your favorite color work method.
- See the video tutorial for assistance.
