Once you've decided to continue with the dishcloth, using the same size hook, crochet a row of single crochet around, using cotton yarn in a variegated color, increasing as needed to stay flat. Then add three rows of double crochet, again, increasing as needed. Then with a solid color, add a row of single crochet, also increasing, and finish with a final row of loops of chain stitches and single crochet. You have produced a scrubbie/dishcloth that can be machine washed and dried that will serve you for a long time, getting dishes ready for the dishwasher, cleaning tables and counters, and doing dishes by hand, getting off stuck on food while not scratching dishes!

Great tutorial, Patti. I think I'm going to make a few for a friend who always has old ratty dish cloths in her sink :) I also think that with an instruction sheet and materials for 2-3 cloths, this would make a great kit to add to your Etsy shop sales.
What a great idea, temptress! Thank you...

Terrific tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing. I plan to try this for my kitchen. I just love your idea.

Very clever idea. I too like both scrubbies and dishcloths. I wonder why combining them hasn't come about sooner.
Good luck with them!
