Rae’s Favorite Kitchen Cloth: A Beginner-Friendly Crochet Pattern
Welcome to Rae’s Favorite Kitchen Cloth crochet pattern! This versatile and durable cloth was inspired by my sister, Rae, who needed something practical for her new kitchen. After experimenting with different yarns and stitches, I created this simple yet effective pattern that combines durability with functionality.
This kitchen cloth is perfect for anyone looking to add a handmade touch to their home. It’s not just for the kitchen—use it in the bathroom, too, for scrubbing away soap scum and grime. Plus, the pattern is beginner-friendly, making it an excellent choice for crocheters of all skill levels.
In this post, I’ll walk you through the materials you’ll need and provide step-by-step instructions to create your own Rae’s Favorite Kitchen Cloth. Whether you’re a seasoned crocheter or just starting out, I hope you enjoy making this practical and charming addition to your home!

NOTES
US crochet terminology used throughout.
The Kitchen Cloth is made in rows.
The ch1 and ch2 at the beginning of each row do not count as a stitch. Therefore, you should make the first stitch of the row in the same stitch (at the base of the ch1 or ch2).
When counting the total number of stitches at the end of each row, please be careful not to include the ch1 or ch2 in the final stitch count.
