An easy crochet project for the home or to be used as a gift is the dishcloth or washcloth. This is simple to make, even for the beginner, is inexpensive as well comes together quickly. You can easily adjust it to the size you want without any issues.
To start with I am currently making a set of dishcloths for a family member. They needed to be thin enough to be easily wrung out when wet. For this I am using Lion Brand's Impeccable yarn with a size G hook.
Chain 41
Row 1: sc in the 2nd chain from the hook, (ch 1, skip the next chain), sc in the next stitch. Repeat this all the way to the end of your chain, ending in a sc. Turn.
Row 2: Chain 1. Sc in the first sc, ch 1, sc in the ch 1 space. Continue across with a sc in a ch 1 space and a ch 1 over the sc of the previous row.
Row 3-36: Ch 1 and sc in the first stitch of the row, sc in every ch 1 space, and ch 1 over every sc of the previous row.
To finish, evenly sc around the outside of the square, placing 3 sc in every corner. Slip Stitch and weave in your ends.
This pattern can be done with any type of yarn. Keep in mind that the thickness of the yarn may require a different size of hook. A larger hook will yield a larger dishcloth with bigger holes. A smaller hook will yield a smaller dishcloth with tighter holes.
