I used Lily’s Sugar and Cream to make these beauties. The regular Ecru color (NOT the soft ECRU) of Lily’s Sugar and Cream cotton is one of my all time favorite neutral tones and you can’t go wrong with a good gray color.
Even if country farmhouse isn’t your style, these dishcloths are wonderfully neutral and will look good anywhere, or you can make them in whatever color combination you would like to match any style.
They can be used in your kitchen as a dishcloth or the bathroom as a washcloth (just pick one or the other!) Either way they will look lovely.

Finished Size:
no border: 8″ X 8.75″
border: 8.75″ x 9.5″
Gauge:
4″ x 4″ = 6 spider stitches by 14 rows
Note:
The dishcloth is worked in the spider stitch which is a sc, ch 1, sc in the same space. See How to Crochet the Spider Stitch tutorial for full instructions.
I find it difficult to carry the yarn not in use and up the side when working with the spider stitch so I did cut the yarn at each color change. If you are going to add a border, you can carry the yarn up the sides and hide it with the border stitches.
Color changes work best when using the new color to complete the final stitch of the previous row.
