Washing up is such a chore, unless you have a cheerful watermelon dishcloth to help you out.  This easy to follow crochet dishcloth pattern is quick to make and will make cleaning the dishes fun.<\/p>\n

You can make this dishcloth pattern with regular cotton yarn (like Lily Sugar n cream<\/a>), but it will clean even more effectively with a textured yarn like Red Heart Scrubby<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Red<\/p>\n

Designed specifically for cleaning, this nobbly textured yarn comes in two styles. Traditional Scrubby<\/a> made from polyester, which is great for heavy duty cleaning without scratching, and the new Scrubby Cotton<\/a>, made from 100% cotton.<\/p>\n

Scrubby cotton<\/a> softens when wet making it suitable for both cleaning cloths, and washcloths for use on the body. It’s also more absorbent, so great for wiping up spills.<\/p>\n

\"Watermelon<\/p>\n

The original scrubby has a harsher scratchier texture, perfect for scrubbing off baked on grime. I’ve combined both in my Watermelon Dishcloth Pattern so you can have the best of both worlds when washing up.<\/p>\n

The softer cotton in the center will tackle most jobs and be gentle on your fine china and glassware, but you can use the scrubby ‘power edge’ to tackle the hard bits.<\/p>\n

\"Red<\/p>\n

With 100g of yarn to each ball, you’ll have enough yarn to make dozens of cleaning cloths. They make great housewarming gifts, so grab your hook and start crocheting.<\/p>\n

Make a Crochet Watermelon Dishcloth<\/h2>\n

With summer on it’s way I thought it would be fun to make a fruit themed dishcloth pattern, rather than the boring old square variety.<\/p>\n

I prefer using dishcloths rather than sponges because you can throw them straight in the washing machine when your done, making them a much more hygienic alternative. They also last a really long time, which is great environmentally.<\/p>\n

\"Watermelon<\/p>\n

I didn’t really have a specific design in mind until I saw the gorgeous Coral colour of the new Scrubby Cotton yarn<\/a>. It’s the perfect ‘watermelon red’, so the idea took life after that.<\/p>\n
