• Crochet Hook: H/8 (5.0 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a slip knot with your yarn on your hook. Chain 41 stitches. This will form the foundation of your dishcloth.
2. Row 1: In the second chain from the hook, make a single crochet (sc). Continue to make a single crochet in each chain across. You should have a total of 40 stitches. Turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 1 to begin the next row. Make a single crochet in the first stitch. Now, *make a double crochet (dc) in the next stitch, then a single crochet in the following stitch; repeat from * across the row. When you reach the end, turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 1 to start. Make a double crochet in the first stitch. Now, *make a single crochet in the next stitch, then a double crochet in the following stitch; repeat from * across the row. Turn your work once again.
5. Repeat Rows 2 and 3: Continue alternating between Row 2 and Row 3 until your piece measures approximately 8 inches from the starting edge. This will create the beautiful houndstooth pattern.
6. Finishing: Once your dishcloth reaches the desired size, fasten off your yarn by cutting it, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure it. Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to give your dishcloth a neat finish.
