Happy New Year! Join us on the second Sunday of each month in 2025 for the Dishcloth of the Month Crochet Along. This crochet along is a great way to try new crochet stitches and to use up some of your scrap yarn. Plus, you’ll have a chance to learn some new crochet stitches AND since the projects are small you will have a finished washcloth (or dishcloth) in only an hour or two!

We’ve invited 12 Crochet Designers to participate in this year’s Dishcloth of the Month CAL. Each month we will share 3 patterns to make a handmade dishcloth, or washcloth featuring a different stitch pattern. By the end of the year we will have shared 36 crochet patterns with you!

Pop by at 9 pm ET (UTC-5) each month, or sign-up to receive an email with the links to all 3 patterns as soon as they are ready!

The Dishcloth of the Month CAL

Each month in 2024, three dishcloth (or washcloth / facecloth) patterns will be shared as part of The Dishcloth of the Month CAL. You can download a Premium PDF copy of the pattern for FREE, but only for the first 24 hours.

After this time has expired, each of the Premium Patterns will return to their regular prices in our shops.

Sign up for our reminder emails so you don’t miss out on the free Premium PDF Patterns. If you signed up last year you’re already going to receive these notifications so you don’t need to do anything further!

Sign up for your monthly notification email here.

If you missed the Premium version of this month’s pattern, don’t worry, you can access a free version of each pattern on our respective websites.
