AlixaCrochet

Two Easy Crochet Dishcloths

One smooth, one textured. One to two hours each.

What you need

Worsted-weight 100% cotton yarn, a 4.5 mm hook, scissors and a needle.

Pattern 1: The classic cloth

Rows of half double crochet over 30 stitches, about 22 rows, until the cloth is square.

Pattern 2: The textured cloth

Alternate single and double crochet across every row. The bumpy lemon peel texture is great for scrubbing.

Add a hanging loop

Work a border of single crochet, then chain 10 at the last corner and slip stitch back into it.

Make a gift set

Roll up three cloths with a bar of soap and a dish brush. Washing advice is in the full pattern.
