Materials Needed

• Yarn: 100% cotton, worsted weight
• Crochet Hook: 5.0 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 moss stitch repeats = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Slip Knot: Begin by making a slip knot on your crochet hook. This will be your starting point.
2. Chain 36: Yarn over and pull through to create a chain of 36 stitches. This will form the foundation of your dishcloth.
3. Row 1:
   • Single crochet in the 4th chain from the hook. This counts as your first single crochet.
   • Now, *chain 1, skip the next chain, single crochet in the next chain; repeat from * across the entire row.
   • Once you reach the end, turn your work to begin the next row.
4. Row 2:
   • Chain 2 (this counts as your first single crochet and chain 1).
   • Skip the first single crochet from the previous row.
   • Now, *single crochet in the next chain-1 space, chain 1, skip the next single crochet; repeat from * across the row.
   • End the row with a single crochet in the turning chain from Row 1, then turn your work.
5. Repeat Row 2: Continue repeating Row 2 until your dishcloth measures approximately 9 inches square. Make sure to keep your tension consistent for an even texture.
6. Finishing Up: Once you have reached the desired size, fasten off your yarn by cutting a long tail (about 6 inches) and pulling it through the last loop on your hook. Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to give your dishcloth a neat finish.
