Hello friends! I started crocheting dishcloths using the yarn that I bought last year at the Lion Brand Yarn Studio. In case you missed all the gorgeous kitchen cotton yarn I bought you can see a photo here. I had a fun time crocheting these this week and I will continue to make more of them in different colors.
Here are some of the dishcloths I crocheted in these bright spring colors.
The yarn I used is Lion Brand Yarn in Kitchen Cotton. The light green colored yarn is 170 Kiwi and the turquoise colored yarn is 148 Tropic Breeze. I found the pattern on Pinterest from a blog and to see the pattern click here. I changed the pattern slightly by not putting a border all around the dishcloths.
I love the way these dishcloths came out and I hope I have inspired you to crochet some too!
Have a nice weekend and please stop by on Monday for my Spring Makeup Giveaway! You must follow me or become a follower by GFC or Bloglovin to be in the giveaway.

Hi Julie, I didn't know there was such a thing as kitchen cotton yarn. Good to know. Your wonderful cloths are making me really miss my yarn and hooks. :) As always, wishing you the best, Darlene
ReplyDeletePretty dishcloths, Julie :-) I really like the blue cotton. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. I'm your newest follower now. I love Linda's link party not only because you can see all the neat things people make, but you can find blogs you didn't know about. Have a great day :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the Spring colors! A facecloth would be nice to have in this design, too. Enjoy your weekend my friend! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI love knit/crochet dishcloths and faceclothes. Once I started making these, we have never gone back to regular store-bought cloths. Your colors are beautiful and springy!
ReplyDeleteI have some of this yarn and have been thinking I need to make some dishcloths. I usually knit them but I am going to try this crochet pattern because yours are so adorable. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Julie, super cute your dishcloths! I must find the time to make some! Lovely colours.Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous weekend!

I love the blue and dearly love the cloths that look easy to make. Thanks for sharing on Meet The Neighbors today and each week as you are a joy
ReplyDeleteThat turquoise looks like a summer vacation! They turned out great. :) And now it's the weekend, woohoo! I hope you have a fun one.
ReplyDeleteI love your dishcloths Julie, they look too nice to be dishcloths, if I made some of these I would just put them out for show. :)
ReplyDeleteThose turned out great and I love the blue! I have never used crocheted dishcloths. Are they absorbent? Hope you have a wonderful weekend....Vicky
ReplyDeleteHi Julie! I like the colors of your dishcloths. So bright and cheery. Doing the dishes might be a little more pleasant now. :) Hope you're having a great week.

These are so pretty, Julie! I like the two colors together. They look like they would do a good job of scrubbing, too. Wishing you a nice weekend! xo Karen
ReplyDeleteI'm relatively new to washcloths and find it a find, quick project to do - practice stitches with!
ReplyDeleteLovely colours Julie! Just going to start on making some for the springtime kitchen! Have a great weekend. xx
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I need some new springy washcloths for my kitchen too!
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I'd love to see you join us at the Inspire Us Thursdays! link party at www.theinspiredwren.com.
ReplyDeleteHello lovely Julie! Your washcloths are wonderful! You amaze me with your crocheting and every time I see a finished project of yours I think to myself that I will teach myself how to crochet - your inspire me :)

Those are so pretty. I can't believe one would use them to wash dishes. My cloth dish rags quickly look terrible.
ReplyDeleteWhat great colors! These look excellent. Thanks for sharing with us on Snickerdoodle Sunday!
ReplyDeleteThey look great, I like the colours. Thanks for linking up to Sweet and Savoury Sunday, stop by and link up again. Happy Easter, have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog (and now a new follower) and so happy to find a new spot to get some crochet ideas. I'm a novice to crochet but have fallen "hook, line & sinker" to how much fun it is. I've been using one called "Sugar 'n Cream," which is a cotton yarn, for making dishcloths. I'll have to look for the Lion's Brand Kitchen Cotton. I'm planning to try your pattern -- love how those look and your colors are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dishcloths, Julie! Love the colors too! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day and weekend!

These are really pretty dishcloths, Julie. I love all the bright colors. I knitted some back in May for a KAL and had a lot of fun with them. Currently I am crocheting a shrug and knitting a summer sweater.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. I found you on The Philosopher's Wife Link love today. You can never have too many pretty dishcloths. I like the pattern you used. I remake mine every spring. So pretty! I have a crochet blog too if you are interested, I linked up as well. Thanks so much!

I made enough crocheted and knit dishcloths to use every day every day. I really like them.
ReplyDeleteWondering how you like working with this Lion Brand Kitchen yarn...is it softer than Lily's Sugar and Cream?
I'm a washcloth/dishcloth kick myself lately. Thanks for pointing me to a new pattern to try - yours turned out lovely!
ReplyDeleteI was all confused.. I knew it was 2015 and could not for the life of me figure what I was doing on a post from 2014! I understand now, you linked this post up.. So nice to meet you I use Sugar and Cream, need to try your Lion Brand Kitchen yarn if I can find locally. http://acitywithoutaswing.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteYour Spring Dishcloths were one of our Most Clicked projects from the Yarn Fanatic Party #29, and featured in this weeks. It can be found here - http://eyeloveknots.blogspot.com/2015/03/yarn-fanatic-linky-party-30-sweet.html.

As always, I love your work, Julie! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love to crochet dish clothes too. I find them an easy project to take with me when traveling. Thanks for linking to the Creatively Crafty link party.
ReplyDeleteI'm a dishcloth fan as well. They're really great when learning a new stitch. The DC,SC repeat really makes a nice pattern when the square is complete, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteSo great! I've been starting to crochet again and these look like a great project to try. (Visiting from #CCBG link party!)
ReplyDeleteYour crocheted dishcloths are so fun, Julie! I have quite a few that were all gifts from friends. Some are so pretty I almost don't want to use them. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi
I don't know how to crochet, I used to when I was a kid, but I don't remember any of it! Seeing your lovely dish cloths makes me want to pick it up again! Thank you for sharing at Sweet Inspiration #1!!
ReplyDeleteOk this is a craft I may need to learn, I could have tons in every color! Thanks so much for joining the Dishing It & Digging It Link Party.
ReplyDeleteThese are really cute, Julie, and I imagine that wiping dishes with a pretty dishcloth would make the task a lot more pleasant! Thanks so much for linking up at Best of the Weekend!
