Add a little traditional flair to your home with this easy-to-work Traditions Dishcloth crochet pattern!

A checkered or plaid look has always been a popular and more traditional look for dishcloths. When you recreate these designs, it often results in complicated colour changes. I tried to eliminate those with this Traditions Dishcloth crochet pattern.

The Traditions Dishcloth is simply worked in colour stripes using a moss stitch crochet pattern. Once the cloth is worked, you will finish it off by working a technique called “surface crochet,” where you work a series of stitches, in our case slip stitches, across the top of your fabric. It can be a bit tricky to hang onto at first, but with repetition, it gets much easier!

This crochet pattern is available in English only and is written in American crochet terms.
