For the ninth cloth in the 2020 Cloth Series, we are working up cloths using the Brick Stitch. This stitch makes for great textured cloths that scrub everything from kitchen counters to shower doors – and everything in between.
Brick Stitch Cloth
While I also think this stitch would make for a wonderful and simple-to-crochet baby blanket or throw blanket, I also love the way this stitch works up in dish cloth form. It’s not holey at all, and not too thick either. To top it off, it’s not even a yarn eater. Awesome!
All of the cloths in this series are designed to be the same size. That way you can either have a set of 12 dishcloths or 12 placemats, or you could sew them all together to make a blanket!
Cloth sizes:
5.5″ x 5.5″ – great for a face cloth or for showering
11″ x 11″ – average washcloth size
18″ x 12″ – dish drying mat, place mat, dusting cloth etc.
Materials:
Dishie Cotton (Creme Brulee colorway pictured)
-approx. 34 yards for small
-approx. 128 yards for medium
-approx. 214 yards for large
In order to make all three of these cloths, I used just shy of two skeins of the Dishie cotton yarn.
Crochet hook in size H/5mm
