Step 1
Select a color of worsted weight cotton yarn that goes with your decor. "Peaches'n Cream" is a popular brand and it comes in a small skein which is the perfect size for a small project like this dishcloth pattern.
-
Step 2
Chain 21 stitches with your cotton worsted weight yarn. You should now have a braid-type looking chain with 18 loops. Count your stitches to make sure you have the correct amount.
-
Step 3
Half-double crochet into the third stitch from the crochet hook. Continue this in the rest of the stitches in the row.
-
Step 4
Make two chains in the last half-double crochet and then turn the work over and half-double crochet in the back of each half-double crochet. Repeat this step until your work is square.
-
Step 5
Slip one stitch and make two chain stitches. Put three half-double crochets in the corner and half-double crochet around the outside of your square. At each corner put three half-double crochets to "turn the corner."
-
Step 6
Repeat this process until you have three rows around the outside of your square. Slip one stitch at the corner to finish off the dishcloth and enjoy.
