Trinity Dishcloth Crochet Pattern

Sharing is caring!

This is another crochet dishcloth pattern, but this one has the crochet trinity stitch. I thought the texture looked cool and decided to try it out with a dishcloth. The result was awesome looking.

I’ve included some directions with pictures on how to do the trinity stitch. One recommendation when doing this dishcloth, especially if using the Lily’s Sugar and Cream Yarn, is to let the ch 1 of the trinity stitch be loose. When working with stiff cotton yarn, trying to get your hook into that chain space when doing the next row can get tiring on the hands if the tension was tight when you did the chain.

  1. I have a lot of trouble downloading free crocheting patterns for dishcloths and potholders. I’m an expert crocheter but have crippling arthritis in my fingers and hands so I only work on small projects like dishcloths and potholders. Last Christmas I crocheted over 20 microwaveable soup bowl cozies which didn’t go fast since I can’t hold the hook and thread in the normal way.
