Waffle Stitch Dishcloth
A Free Crochet Pattern
All Rights Reserved
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.

Insert your hook front-to-back through your work, so that the post you want to crochet around is in front of your hook.
Yarn over again and pull through. There will be three loops on your hook, just like there would at this stage of a normal double crochet.
Proceed as normal with your double crochet stitch: Yarn over and pull through the first two of the three loops on the hook.
Yarn over and pull through the remaining two loops on the hook.
