Tilted Shell Dishrag

Practice the Tilted Shell stitch pattern while you make the  Tilted Shell Dishrag.  In just minutes, you can learn this super easy crochet stitch. Plus you’ll make a practical gift perfect for the upcoming holiday season. Think teachers, postal carriers, coworkers. And best of all, you’ll  gain a sense of accomplishment! There is nothing like actually finishing something. 

From a 2.5 ounce ball of a 4-ply cotton yarn like Sugar ‘n Cream or Crafter’s Choice, you can make 2 dishrags. Or just dig into the leftover scrap bag and combine multiple  colors. Each one only takes about an ounce and a half of cotton yarn.

In my video How to Crochet the Easy Tilted Shell Baby Blanket learn how to expand the stitch into a blanket too. Plus, learn how to use 3 colors and let the colors chase each other up the sides! This technique works on dishrags too!

Better than that, this project travels well. You can just tuck some yarn, an H hook and minimal supplies right into your purse and you are ready for any spare moments. Waiting in the doctor’s office, sitting in the car outside the school, commuting on the bus or train become moments of opportunity not dread!

So squeeze a few minutes out of your busy schedule and relax while you make the Tilted Shell dishrag!
