Basketweave Dishcloth and Bread Basket Liner

Crochet Basketweave Dishcloth and Bread Basket Liner Crochet Pattern

Keep your buns warm and learn the crochet basketweave stitch! I’m talking dinner rolls. What did you think I meant?

First in the pattern is written instructions for creating an 8″ x 8″ dishcloth. The crochet basketweave creates a ridged dishie that will come in handy for those pots and pans that need a little bit of elbow grease to get clean.

When you’ve mastered the basketweave stitch, you can create a lovely bread basket liner. The basketweave pattern creates a sturdy base for the liner. A v-stitch pattern is used on 4 side panels which provides a bit more drape for covering your dinner rolls.

This set is crocheted with Fibra Natura Good Earth distributed by Universal Yarn. This cotton linen blend is perfect for going from sink to washing machine and back again.
