Lemon Dishcloth | Free Crochet Pattern

This lemon dishcloth is so easy and fast to crochet. It has two sides and will fit perfectly in your hand, for a sudsy time of washing dishes. How fun and whimsical to have a lemon dishcloth in your kitchen. Plus the lemon dishcloth will coordinate with all of the other Lemon Farmhouse Designs. 

There are 12 Lemon Farmhouse Designs, and 6 designs in the Seaside Reflections Series of crochet patterns. They were part of the Summer Celebration that was held on my side of the mountain. Please use this hashtag #summercelebrationatkrissys   all over social media and youtube, to see all of the fun and unique designs that were released during our celebration of summer.

I sometimes use affiliate links in my posts. This won’t cost you anything, but will help offset the cost of yarn and other supplies needed, so that I can continue bringing you crochet patterns and craft ideas. Thank you so much for your support.

The free crochet pattern for the lemon dishcloth is below. Did you know there is also a lemon scrubby, using Red Heart’s Scrubby Sparkle Yarn? Using the scrubby sparkle yarn is so much fun. It is my first time using the scrubby yarn, and the Lemon Scrubby is just as cute as the Lemon Dishcloth. There is a free crochet pattern for the Lemon Scrubby, here on this blog as well.
