Honeycomb Textured Dishcloth – Free Crochet Pattern + Video Tutorial

The crochet Honeycomb Textured Dishcloth is a fun kitchen decor project for all bee-, beehive-, and honey-lovers!

Crochet Honeycomb Textured Dishcloth - Raffamusa Designs

For this dishcloth, I used the honeycomb textured stitch.

This is a stitch that I created while trying to obtain a nice hexagon/honeycomb texture on one side of the fabric while keeping all the softness of regular half double crochets on the other side.

This means that on the back, you have a solid fabric of half double crochets. Always convenient in a crochet dishcloth, wouldn’t you agree?

Since this pattern uses lots of front post stitches and stitches worked together, it is not ideal for crochet beginners, but perfect for a little more experienced crocheters who are looking for a fun and challenging little project!

A HONEYCOMB KITCHEN STORY

This textured Honeycomb Dishcloth is part of my work-in-progress Honeycomb Kitchen Collection, all inspired by bees, honey, and beehives!

While I’m working on putting together a little e-book, you can already take a look at some of the crochet projects that will be part of the collection.
