Crochet Waffle Stitch Dishcloth Pattern

Waffle Stitch Dishcloth
A Free Crochet Pattern

Hello again friends! This weeks Freebie Friday pattern is for my Waffle Stitch Dishcloth! This one may be a little oversized (9X9 inches) but that's better then being under sized right? 😉 These crochet dishcloths can be whipped up in an afternoon! They would be great as a housewarming gift or a wedding gift! You could also crochet a few for yourself. Theres no such thing as too many dishcloths! Am I right? 😊 
  The only stitches used in this pattern are Single Crochets, Double Crochets and Front Post Double Crochets. The front post double crochets aren't as hard as they may sound. Instead of working in the top of the previous rounds stitches, you'll be working around the stitch. There is a Youtube tutorial at the end of this post for this pattern that may help. I hope you like this pattern! If you do, be sure to subscribe to the blog (link is at the top of the page), like and follow my Facebook page, join my Facebook group and subscribe to my *new* Youtube channel. All links will be at the end of this post.

Happy #freebiefriday again friends! I hope you've all had a great week! This weeks pattern is a free crochet bear pattern! It's Chubby Bear! He's Cuddle Bear's companion. If you haven't seen last weeks free crochet pattern, Cuddle Bear, you can find it here--> Cuddle Bear crochet pattern. As I explained in last weeks post, amigurumi (crochet stuffies) used to intimidate me. That is, until I realized that not all ami's are created equal. Some are made with crochet thread and tiny hooks, while others (like this one) are made with thicker yarns and a bigger hook. This pattern is fairly simple, as it only uses the single crochet, single crochet increase and single crochet decrease stitches! If you need any help at all with this pattern, you can reach me at the links provided at the end of this post! I hope you love this pattern and Happy Crocheting!

Hello again friends! I'm changing things up a bit for this weeks #freepatternfriday. I got a really great deal on some Yarn Bee Cloud 9 yarn (which by the way is sooo soft). The first idea I had were for cuddly little teddy bears! I made 2 versions of them, the cuddle bear and the chubby bear (coming next Friday). It was nearly impossible to work with the Cloud 9 yarn by itself so I made it easier on myself, and you all, and decided to use a baby yarn (#3 size yarn) with it. If you've ever been intimidated by making amigurumi don't be! The only stitches used are single crochet, single crochet increase and single crochet decrease. I highly recommend using stitch markers also to help keep your place. Honestly, there was a time I was intimidated by amigurumis but I soon realized that it's not so bad (as long as I used a decent size hook and yarn, lol). I hope you enjoy this pattern and if you do please feel free to share this post with your friends!

Who's ready for the final part of the 3 part Even Berry Collection?! Part one was the Even Berry Dish Cloth pattern and part 2 was the Even Berry Hand Towel pattern. Today's pattern is part 3, the Even Berry Reusable Swiffer Sweeper Refill pattern. These 3 together add an extra little something to any bathroom and work great for cleaning (and drying)! I do suggest however, that if you have a bigger family (like mine) or more space to clean, to make more then one refill. I use mine, then grab another as needed during the mopping process. I'm sure you could probably rinse, wring and reuse but I don't have time for that! Lol! Please note that the "berries" will "pop" out on every other berry row. I haven't tried it yet, but you could probably slip stitch a row somewhere between rounds 4-6 if you would like for all the berry rows to pop out on the same side. Just remember not to slip stitch too tight. I hope you love this pattern. If you do please consider sharing this post w/your crochet friends and also join my group on Facebook (link is at the bottom of this post). Happy crocheting!
