A Farmhouse Inspired Crochet Kitchen Towel Pattern
I’m going to start this post off a little differently because I just want to express my love for farmhouse style. Anyone else? I just love the overall look of it and how homey it feels.
And I probably have way too many pins saved on my Pinterest on farmhouse kitchen decor, but I just can’t help myself (if you do too, you might want to pin this crochet farmhouse style pillow. It’s just so pretty!
Ok, so now that I’ve preached my love for farmhouse aesthetics, let’s talk about my latest free dish towel pattern inspired by farmhouse style!
This free crochet kitchen towel pattern is beginner-friendly, simple, and made using only one stitch. All you need is two different worsted weight cotton yarns and a 5.5 mm crochet hook.
So if that sounds good to you, I think you’ll really enjoy making this pattern.
A One-Stitch Repeat Crochet Pattern
One thing that I love about this crochet dish towel is that it’s made using only half double crochet stitches. So if you like making half double crochet stitches as much as I do, you’ll love making this!
I chose this stitch pattern for this dish towel because it honestly reminds me of the granite stitch. Except, it’s way faster!
The granite stitch is made using a combination of chain spaces, chains, and single crochets. This stitch pattern is made by working a half double crochet between the stitches.
So way easier in my opinion and I was shocked how fast this project worked up.
The Yarn You’ll Use for This Crochet Kitchen Towel – Dishie Yarn
For this crochet kitchen towel pattern, you will need 2 different colors of a worsted weight yarn. I used WeCrochet Dishie yarn, which is a really nice soft cotton yarn.
It’s one of my favorites to use for home decor patterns, as the yarn holds up really well when thrown in the wash a couple of times.
So for the pattern, I used the colors, Swan and Silver. Swan was used as the main color of the dish towel and then I used Silver for the accent color. So you will need 2 different colors for this pattern.
WeCrochet Dishie yarn has 30 different color options, so there’s a lot to choose from!

Thanks for the pattern. When i get to the last stitch of row 2 (stitch 42), i'm not sure how to place the hook into the last stitch as i can't see any space/gap anymore between the hdc's? Do i just place it under the 2 loops that I see since i can't see the gap/space between the stitches? I hope this makes sense. It's really the last stitch where it starts to curve around that i no longer see a gap.. Thanks for any advice!

Hi there, thank you for your question. I would place it under the two loops if its getting hard to see. As long as you can make that stitch in the last row, it's ok if it's under the two loops. I hope that helps! 😊
