Tip:
Use cotton yarn for its durability and excellent absorbency.
Materials Needed:
- 100% cotton yarn (such as Lily Sugar and Cream in Summerfield Ombre)
- 4mm crochet hook (size G)
- Scissors
- Darning needle
- Optional: stitch marker, tape measure
Pattern Steps:
Start:
- Create a slip knot.
- Chain 30 stitches to form the foundation chain.
Row 1:
- Half double crochet (HDC) in the second chain from the hook.
- Continue with one HDC in each chain across until the end of the row.
- Chain two, then turn your work.
Row 2 and Beyond:
- HDC in the first stitch from the hook (ignore the chains you made for turning).
- Continue with HDC in each stitch across the row.
- At the end of each row, chain two and turn your work.
Repeating Rows:
- Repeat the instructions for Row 2 until you reach the desired size of your dishcloth.
- For consistent edges, remember to place a HDC in the last stitch of each row.
Finishing:
- Once you have achieved the desired number of rows (the video suggests around 19 rows on top of the initial chaining row), finish by chaining one after your last HDC.
- Cut the yarn, leaving a tail long enough to weave in with a darning needle.
- Weave in ends securely on the reverse side of the dishcloth.
Additional Tips:
Tension:
- Ensure you maintain consistent tension throughout your project for even stitches.
Adjustments:
- You can adjust the size of your dishcloth by chaining more or fewer stitches in the beginning (make sure you have enough to cover your desired width).
