    Heart Shaped Cloth

    Published: Feb 5, 2021 · Modified: Mar 1, 2021 by Tamara Kelly · 19 Comments

    The Heart Shaped Cloth is a dishcloth, a washcloth, a coaster - and a cute way to spread love and cheer this Valentine's Day or any day! Featuring the classic granny stitch, it's a free crochet pattern here on Moogly!

    Pick Your Favorite Yarn

    I made the Heart Shaped Cloth with Red Heart Scrubby Smoothie - it's one of my favorite cotton yarns. But you could use Lily Sugar'n Cream to keep it dishy/washy or do something fun and textured for a coaster - or even hang them from a garland!

    Granny Stitch Shaping

    I used the classic granny stitch to design the Heart Shaped Cloth, but to get that iconic shape I played with the ends of the rows. If you need help, be sure to check out the video tutorial (coming February 11th). It's a quick project and perfect for stash busting!

      Love this Heart Shaped Cloth!! I can think of many ways to use this--and thanks a million for including a graph--I find having a graph sometimes makes it easier to understand some pattern directions!

      Love this pattern. Made so many as gifts. I love the chart. I even used a chunky yarn and made a big one for a friend and she framed it on her bedroom wall.
      Thank for a great pattern.

      I love this pattern and your tutorial. I used Crafters Secret cotton in red, made them for my girls for Valentine's Day, to be used as a hot pad.

      I make dishclothes and other things for the women in my congregation. I was delighted to find this pattern and I know several of our ladies will love it too. Thank you so much for giving us this beautiful heart.
