Holly Jolly Washcloth

Design by Sarah Ruane from Ned and Mimi.

This crochet holiday dishcloth is the perfect way to bring cheerful colors and festive vibes to your kitchen or holiday table. Whether you use it as a washcloth, a trivet for hot dishes, or even a table mat, this pattern is simple, practical, and full of charm!

Using just two basic stitches – the half-double crochet (hdc) and the front post double crochet (FPdc) – this dishcloth pattern uses 3 colors to create a striking woven texture. The FPdc stitches give it depth and dimension, and once you get the hang of working around the post of a stitch, it’s a quick and enjoyable project!
