(Last updated 7-10-13)
- Leave a 3 inch tail
- 27 single stitches
- * Double crochet in 2nd stitch from hook (Total of 26 double stitches -- it's okay if it's 25, 26, or 27)
- Chain 2
- Turn *
- Continue from *
- Make as many rows as you'd like, but just make sure that your dish cloth is square. It should be the same size all the way around. The size usually comes out to 5x5, 6x6, ...

I love the way you show step by step how to crochet that dishcloth, very nice idea to teach like that.
Maybe I may learn to crochet yet!
Even though I love my knitting
Hi Sweetybird09! I'd love to learn to knit! Thanks for such a sweet comment!
What size hook do you recommend for these?
Thank you Elizabeth for asking about the hook. I can't believe I left the most important part out.
I use an H or I hook.
It's now in the instructions.
Thanks again,
Annabelle
great post annabelle. i like that you've included some progress pictures for those that are new to crocheting. i love crocheting so always love reading about others doing the same!
Hi Annabelle,
Thanks for letting me know the hook size, that's what I would've guessed. :)
So I would like to give some washcloths I've made as Mother's Day gifts and am curious how you make the cupcakes - any chance of getting that tut right away?
These are soooo pretty.
I came here via Penny Pinching Party. Stop by and visit me sometimes over at Pittypat Paperie.
Here's my question on these (they're lovely, awesome, home-made, so fit all my requirements for loving!) Are they machine washable? My dish cloths get regular washings to not get all stinky - i use them instead of a sponge to clean my dishes. So if I crocheted some, would I be able to pop 'em in the washer as easily as the terry cloth ones I already use?
I love these! Can't wait to whip some up! Thanks for sharing the pattern. I will be linking back to you.

thanks so much for the pattern!! i love these!
These are quick and easy to whip up thanks for the pattern. My question is why does it say to leave a 3 inch tale? is this for sewing in purposes?
It is very interesting for me to read that article. Thanks for it. I like such topics and anything that is connected to them. I definitely want to read a bit more soon.

What do I do with the 3 inch tail???
Hi Alana. The tail probably doesn't need to be 3 inches. You just need enough to tuck it back into the washcloth or tie it off like I do. Hope this helps.
Hi Annabelle. As you stated this is your own pattern and that we may post it on our blogs, etc. Would it be okay to sell any items we make. I would love to make these and sell them, giving credit to the pattern and designer.
Thank you,
Evelyn
How did you make the splotches of color? What brand is the yarn?
I created almost the same pattern. Just all either single crochet or double, depending if you want the holes.
I wash mine in washer but since it is cotton they do shrink. Eventually lose their pretty colors too - but they last quite a long time.
Thank you for sharing!
I love the colors that you used in the picture (lime, blue, orange and pink), do you happen to have the exact names of those colors? I would love to give this project a try. Also, does it matter if you crochet or knit these, is one better then the other?? Thanks!
Can 100% acrylic yarn be used make these as that's all I have and tons of colors. Want to make for Christmas gifts.
Acrylic will work but wont be as absorbant.
How many ch st to start?
Thank you for sharing valuable information and I hope keep posting. Couponmount
