This is a soft and drapeable dishcloth and towel set with a very easy stitch to make. The extended single crochet is a stitch that doesn’t seem to ‘eat’ as much yarn as most other crochet stitches. I wanted my yarn to go as far as possible while maintaining a very soft cloth and towel. Since the hanging towels get the most use in my kitchen, I figured that would be the same case in my daughters’ kitchen as well. Why don’t you try your own cloth and towel set to see how you like this stitch. Make up a batch or two for yourself or someone you love.♥

NOTE: Just to be clear… the H hook is for the dishcloth, and the I hook was used for the dishtowel.
