Crochet a new, amazingly textured dishcloth for your kitchen with this free corner-to-corner (C2C) waffle stitch dishcloth pattern!
Dishcloths are always useful in the kitchen or in the bath to use as washcloths, and making them yourself is fun, lets you practice new stitches and possibly use up some yarn leftovers from your stash.
For this dishcloth, I used an interesting variation of the classic waffle stitch that is worked in a corner-to-corner (C2C) fashion, which I show in detail in this blog post HERE.
The same technique, i.e. the C2C waffle stitch, is also the one that I used to crochet the first part of the heart-shaped waffle dishcloth, of which I’ll share the pattern soon!
For now, I hope you’ll enjoy this quick and fun pattern of the C2C Waffle Stitch Dishcloth!
