What is the best yarn to use for a crochet dishcloth?
The best yarn for dishcloths is cotton. For my dishcloths, I used Sugar ‘N’ Cream. Blended cottons will work too. Cotton and soy blends are softer than 100% cotton. You just need to ensure that the yarn blend is mostly cotton. This will make it absorbent.
What crochet hook do I need to make a dishcloth?
For this crochet dishcloth, I used a crochet hook size G. Depending on how you crochet (loose or tight) and the pattern you choose you can use US size H, I or J.
If you prefer a sponge in your kitchen you might like this crochet sponge.

there are so many small crochet projects, but I always fall back on dishcloths for gifts – I try to do one or two a month and then have a pretty good give away pile… I really like this scalloped edge, will try yours out very soon. Thanks!

Sugar ‘n Cream also has a knitting pattern for those of us that don’t crochet. I love the ones I have made and they are still going strong after several years of use.
