Crochet Thermal Stitch Dishcloth
The Crochet Thermal Stitch Dishcloth is a great quick example of how to do this double thickness crochet stitch. My friend Megan showed me how to do this stitch and I was so inspired by it.
The video tutorial demonstrates how to do this stitch as a single crochet which includes finishing the project. In the second half of the tutorial, I restarted and did it as a double crochet thermal stitch. Both examples show how to start and finish a project.
See the free downloadable pattern that I have written which includes the photography below.

Thank you so much Mikey. I’ve been crocheting for years but you have taught me so much & I am very grateful. I was trying to crochet this stitch but got totally stuck with the tutorial I was watching. It was not good! I needed someone who could explain it clearly & was so relieved when I saw you had created a wonderful, clear & comprehensive tutorial. Suddenly it was so easy!!!! You are my hero, thanks again x
Hi, If you still haven’t found the pattern there is a lighter teal colored box as you scroll that says Pattern Spark Your Inspiration. Then under that box it says Thermal Stitch Dishcloth, Click that box. I too thought it was an add but it ended up being the pattern. Good luck.
Thanks Sherri… All of our clickables are the same colours of the light blue so it separates us from the ads. 🙂
Thank you for this pattern! I have seen several, but they have been confusing and disjointed. I knew when I checked yours out I would find one that flowed properly and made sense! The Video is great as always. You Never disappoint. Now I can’t wait to try it. I’m also thinking wider and a hand towel or double-stranded as a potholder.
I haven’t worked this up personally but I’ve seen their done ones, it’s pretty neat.
I can’t find the free written pattern to print???
I have added the blue pattern button, hopefully, that helps
PATTERN LINK AND VIDEO WORKING!
This is such a cool stitch I love it and your teaching is great thank you for another great video
i really enjoyed this tutorial!!
thx, mikey!!
–meryl the battel
Loved the thermal stitch
How can I finish the rough sides of the piece. I am making potholders
you could try a simple single crochet around
Could this stitch be used to make a warm blanket thanks
Yes I made a blanket. It is sooooo warm!
Thank you! This will be perfect for a bathroom rug I’ve been wanting to make. It will give it some thickness for comfort, but, hopefully, still be thin enough for the door to open over it. I also want to test it out in self-striping yarn like Mandala, which will help with the thickness, too.
I use the thermal single crochet stitch when making Potholders and table runners/trivets/handle covers, using 100% cotton. In the video you said you tried to do different colors on each side…I did one by changing colors each row leaving a fringe on the sides rather than weaving all the ends in. I tried using multiple balls of yarn but it really didn’t work well for me. Hope this helps…
Ah, do you have the instructions for the double crochet version of the Thermal Stitch Dishcloth yet? That’s the one I want to do. The quick one. Thanks, Carol
WOW! I’m impressed. Great way to get a decent thickness. Can’t wait to try it ! Love the video – makes it so much easier to understand. Carol
I have been making thermo baby blankets for years, with the baby wool, 3 ply, with one colour on one side and another color on the other side then knot the 4 ends together. I have had a thermo blanket on my bed for over 39 years
WOW! I’m impressed. Great way to get a decent thickness. Can’t wait to try it !
