Hello everyone! Well this cloth happened. I had an order for a knit version of these cloths and I just knew a crochet version was a must. There was a time that I was not able to knit and I felt so left out if I loved something but couldn’t figure out a way to make a crochet version. So to all my crochet only friends this one is for you.

I am certainly one to look at the dishes after dinner and think *uck now its time to clean up. Like I love cooking but I could do without the clean up after lol. So, if anything when I look at this cloth at least I will get a good chuckle. My boys laugh too they say “why did you swear on your cloth mom, that’s a bad word”. Yahh it sure is!

Pattern Notes

This is a very simple dishcloth pattern. I created this pattern after doing a knit pattern for orders and I knew that all my crochet friends would need this pattern in their life or better yet their kitchen. The Cursing cloth will at least make you smile when you tackle those never ending dishes. You will only use the DC ST and a CH to create the letters to the word.

Please note that the CH STS will count as a ST.

In order to line up my DC ST a little more in the beginning of each RW I skip the CH 2 STs and the 1St ST and start the DC in the 4th ST directly over the DC below. Then follow the pattern for the RW and your final ST should be placed in the CH 2 ST from the RW below.

DC (Double crochet) – YO, insert hook into next ST, YO, pull through ST (3 loops on hook), YO, Pull through 2 loops, (2 loops on hook), YO, pull through all loops on hook.

Here we go:
