Stitchin’ Mommy’s Summer Days Dishcloth joins June crochet CAL
A fast cotton cloth with three sizes and a Buttercup Yellow sample gave June’s Dishcloth of the Month CAL an easy, low-pressure summer make.
When crocheters want a project that feels useful without asking for a big time commitment, a dishcloth is hard to beat. The Summer Days Dishcloth landed as Amy Ramnarine’s June contribution to the 2026 Dishcloth of the Month CAL, bringing a quick, practical make to a month that often fills up fast.
The larger CAL is built for that kind of momentum. Oombawka Design Crochet says the year-long event includes 36 free dishcloth or washcloth patterns, with each month bringing three new designs: one from Rhondda Mol, one from The Stitchin’ Mommy, and one from a guest designer. June’s roundup grouped Summer Days Dishcloth with Everyday Cleaning Cloth and Magnolia Heirloom Dishcloth, underscoring that this is a steady monthly release, not a one-off pattern drop.
Summer Days Dishcloth is shaped for repeat makes and stash use. The Ravelry listing says it comes in three different sizes and works up quickly, using about 37 to 150 yards of Category 4 medium-weight cotton yarn. The sample is worked in Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran, colorway 623 Buttercup Yellow, a bright choice that fits the summer brief and gives the cloth a clean, sunny look for the kitchen. The hook size is listed as 5 mm H on Ravelry, while the blog post gives size I, 5.5 mm, giving makers a concrete starting point for matching the design.
That combination of short yardage, cotton, and a fast finish is exactly why dishcloth CALs keep drawing attention. The Stitchin’ Mommy describes the project as flexible and easy to join, and the broader setup invites makers to follow along, add project pages on Ravelry, and share progress through the CAL hashtag. For crocheters with a cotton bin full of leftovers, it is an easy way to turn single skeins and partial balls into something that gets used every day instead of lingering in a drawer.
Paintbox Yarns helps explain the appeal of the sample choice, too. With more than 100 shades and free patterns, the brand has built a palette-friendly lane for projects like this one, where color matters as much as utility. Summer Days Dishcloth fits the CAL’s larger promise: a small project that is quick to finish, easy to repeat, and satisfying every time it hits the sink.
