We also share a small 2-bedroom cottage near Lake Huron, Ontario. Thus, we can’t resist beach decor and recently completely renovated the cottage in a modern coastal style. We just finished the kitchen makeover: you can explore our entire coastal cottage kitchen reveal here.

One of our favourite new additions to the kitchen is the sleek and spacious Miseno Double Basin Apron-Front Sink from Build.com. Since we don’t have a dishwasher in the cottage, we spend a lot of time at the sink. This apron front sink holds so many dishes and the second basin is perfect for air-drying them! We love the modern farmhouse vibe it gives to the room.

It was great being able to shop from my couch and order the pieces online. The shipping was super quick and well communicated every step of the way. At the same time we also received the beautiful Progress Lighting Globe Pendant and a new over-the-range GE microwave (a great way to free up counter space).

Our fancy new sink needed some extra-special dishcloths!

Free Crochet Dishcloth Pattern

I recently spotted this super helpful tutorial on how to crochet the shell stitch. I thought this would make the perfect dishcloth for a coastal kitchen!

I chose three different coordinating colours which make the design look like waves. You can use any colours you’d like and the best part is that you alternate colours without cutting the yarn. Just drop each colour at the end of the row and then pick it back up when needed.

We used the same cotton yarn and colors as for our easy crochet coasters for beginners pattern.

Crochet shell stitch dishcloth in white and gray yarn

I just love how this easy crochet dishcloth pattern turned out.

They make doing dishes just that much more fun. For the second one I used the same yarn in the following colours: White (Colour A), Charcoal (Colour B) and Silver (Colour C).

I think I’ll make a few sets of these crochet wash cloths as they’ll make great gifts for friends and family. Wouldn’t they even be lovely in soft colours as a baby shower gift?

I am really having a hard time with the end of row 3. Am I reading correctly that it ends in a sc?? Doesn’t look like the picture. Please help. I really like this pattern. Thanks.

@Leigh, Row 3 should end with 3 dc in the last stitch as is shown in the picture. This would correspond to the ch2, 2dc at the beginning of Row 3. Hope this helps.

Your colors were so pretty I immediately placed an order with Amazon to get the cotton yarn. I paid a bit more but it was worth it.

I can't wait to start crocheting.

Thanks!

I really like that pop of color in the teal. So pretty next to the gray. It's sad, as much as I crochet, I don't have any crocheted items in my kitchen. Better fix that!
