Why I Love This Crochet Dishcloth

I love this project because it’s quick, simple, and still looks really beautiful. Handmade dishcloths like this will put a smile on your face while you do your dishes or make thoughtful, budget-friendly gifts. You can make a few in different colours to match your holiday décor or create a set for friends and family.

Why I love the Berry Stitch

The berry stitch adds lovely texture that looks like tiny snowberries sprinkled across your dishcloth. It elevates a simple dishcloth, giving it a festive and handmade feel without making the pattern overly complicated.

Choosing Your Colour Palette

I chose white for the main body to represent snow and added a gold border for a touch of glamour. You can customise the colours to suit your kitchen, holiday décor, or gift recipients. Using contrasting colours for the berries and border really makes the pattern pop.

Print-at-Home Gift Labels for Dishcloths and Small Makes

If you’re planning to gift your dishcloths or any of your small crochet makes this Christmas, I’ve put together a bundle of print-at-home gift labels to make everything look extra special. The set includes 18 different festive designs, all ready to print, cut, and wrap around your handmade gifts. You can find the full bundle in my Etsy shop or check out my other listings for individual designs.

Is This Pattern Beginner-Friendly?

Yes! While it uses the berry stitch, this pattern is suitable for adventurous beginners who know basic crochet stitches. The step-by-step instructions and video tutorial make it easy to follow along, even if you’re new to textured stitches.

Yarn Options, Hook & Tool Tips

This dishcloth works best with 100% cotton yarn, which is absorbent and perfect for kitchen use. I used Yarnsmiths Cotton Aran, but suitable substitutes include Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran, Yarn & Colours Epic Aran, or Dishie Yarn.
