This blog post will guide you through creating a beautiful and functional single row crochet bar dishcloth! This pattern is perfect for beginners and experienced crocheters alike, offering a simple yet captivating stitch structure. So, grab your hook, yarn, and let’s get started!

Materials:

• Cotton yarn – Light to medium weight (4) in your desired color (approximately 150-200 yards)
• Crochet hook – Size appropriate for your chosen yarn (recommended: H/8 – 5.00mm)
• Tapestry needle (optional, for weaving in ends)

Gauge:

16 stitches x 10 rows in single row crochet bar stitch = 4” x 4”

Finished Size:

Approximately 7” x 7” (adjust starting chain count for desired size)

Stitches used:

• Slip stitch (sl st)
• Chain stitch (ch)
• Single crochet (sc)
• Single row crochet bar stitch (explained below)

Single Row Crochet Bar Stitch:

1. Work 2 single crochets into the same chain space.
2. Insert your hook under the back loop only of the second single crochet (not the top loop). Yarn over and pull through to create a loop.
3. Skip one stitch (the previous single crochet).
4. Insert your hook under both loops of the next stitch and yarn over. Pull through to create a loop on your hook.
5. Yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on your hook to complete the single row crochet bar stitch.

Pattern:

Chain 37 (or adjust for desired width).

Row 1: Sc in the second chain from the hook, single row crochet bar stitch in the next stitch, sc in the next stitch. Repeat from * to * until the end of the row. Turn your work. (36 stitches)

Row 2: Ch 2 (counts as first sc), sc in each stitch across. Turn your work.

Repeat Rows 2 and 3 until your dishcloth reaches the desired length.

Finishing:

Fasten off by cutting yarn, leaving a long tail. Weave in ends with a tapestry needle.

Tips:

• Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each row for easier turning.
• Adjust the starting chain count for a wider or narrower dishcloth.
• Experiment with different yarn colors to create a unique and personalized dishcloth.
• You can add a simple border around the edge of your dishcloth for an extra touch.

Additional Notes:

• This pattern is worked in continuous rounds, meaning you won’t need to turn your work after each row. This creates a seamless finish.
• The single row crochet bar stitch is a variation of the single crochet stitch, but it creates a raised bar effect for a more textured look.
• This dishcloth is absorbent and durable, making it perfect for everyday use.
