It’s been a bit since the Cloudy Days Dishcloth was released and I figured it was about time I created a dish towel to go with it and start making a set for the kitchen.
If you were a fan of the texture of the Tiny Cloud Stitch, then pairing this dish towel up with the dishcloth should be the perfect kitchen combo for you.
The best part about this stitch is that you only need to know the single crochet and half double crochet stitch.

The Yarn
When making crochet dishcloths, crochet kitchen towels, or potholders using cotton yarn is best.
For this towel, I used Loops & Threads Eco Cotton yarn for the two-toned towel. This yarn used to be carried by Michaels but it seems to be discontinued now. So I also made a solid colored towel using the Big Twist Cotton Blend Yarn which was pretty close to the Eco Cotton.
Pattern Notes:
- This crochet pattern is written in US terms.
- Initial chains in a row do not count as a stitch.
- If you want to change the width the initial chain is multiples of 3 plus 1
- To change the height you can adjust the amount of times the repeat rows are done.
- Finished Size: 13 inches wide x 16 inches tall
- Matching Dishcloth: Cloudy Days Dishcloth
