The Simple Cluster Dishcloth is part of the 2022 Fall Gift Giving Crochet Along… It is week 7 of the 12 dishcloths – 12 Weeks!! It is made using 2 contrasting yarn colors and a two row repeat. Super easy, fun to make and another great gift idea!!! It is also a great TV watching project…
For the Simple Cluster Dishcloth, you will be using Slip Stitch, Chains, Single Crochet, Double Crochet and a Cluster Stitch in other words – Easy Peasy!
I liked the way it looked with no border, I started to add one and wasn’t crazy about it… If you want to add a border, it is makers choice!

Now on to Week 7 – Simple Cluster Dishcloth
Using a variegated yarn(Emerald Energy) and the cream(Panorama) for the clusters it created this fun, random look.
Tips:
- It is super easy just make sure you weave all ends in for this project. Since we won’t have a border, the time it takes to weave in the ends is made up in no edging time.
- Use two contrasting colors to get the best effect
- Even rows are right side facing
- You can choose any color scheme instead so you can make it your own.
- You will ch 1 after each cluster, don’t miss this
Materials:
Yarn: 150 total Yards of Cotton Yarn for each, about 100 yds main color and 50 yards contrast color.
For the lighter colored one, I used Lilys Sugar N Cream in Color A – Emerald Energy(this is contrast and Color B – Peaches n Cream Panorama.
For the darker one, I used Color A – Sugar N Cream in Warm Brown and Color B – Peaches N Cream in Gold
