This pattern is written in 2 versions for both USA and UK crochet terms, yarns etc. You can choose which version you want to download, or you can download both.

This pattern shows you how to make an easy crochet washcloth or dishcloth, aimed at the novice crocheter who has just mastered the basic stitches and wants to move on a bit. It was initially designed for a crochet class to use.

The pattern uses UK half trebles (USA-half double crochet) and UK double crochet (USA-single crochet) stitches, plus chain and slip stitches, and is simple to construct.

It uses simple and clear written instructions + photos to help explain, which are fuller than normal. This is to try and help the novice get used to following commercial printed patterns, which can be hard for a beginner.

The pattern uses medium aran/worsted/afghan/10ply cotton yarn, and an I or 5.5mm hook. However, there are details in the pattern about using different yarn and hooks if you don’t have what’s required.

The gauge doesn’t matter too much for this pattern, as the dishcloth can be any size. However, it is good if you can keep your tension constant.

The amount of yarn required is only rough. 1 x 56g ball is more than enough, and 100g will probably make 3 dishcloths.

I am happy to help anyone using the pattern, as we all had to start somewhere.
