Scrubby Edge Dishcloths, Free Crochet Pattern + Video

The Scrubby Edge Dishcloth is a beautifully simple, cheerful little dishcloth that is easy to stitch up!  A simple solid granny square makes the cottony center, while the more textured edging can tackle the more stubborn areas while cleaning too!  A handy hanging loop finishes it off and works great for drying your cloth.

This dishcloth is part of of Summer of Dishcloths CAL, our 2019 Fiber Flux summer crochet along!  Each week in July & August, I will share a new & free crochet dishcloth pattern + full video tutorial!  Click here for the other patterns in this series, I will update that page as each one goes live to serve as a directory of sorts.  Scroll to the bottom of this post for ways to show off your work and connect with other CAL makers!
