Here's my simple crochet dishcloth pattern. No frills, just your basic granny square cloth.
Materials:
Lilly Sugar 'n Creme cotton yarn
Smaller hook, size G or H to make a tight pattern.
Pattern:
Ch 6, join with sl st to make a ring
Round 1: ch 3, 2 dc, (ch 3, 3 dc) 3 times, ch 3, sl st in top of ch 3 to join
Round 2: sl st in next 2 dc and ch 3 sp, {ch 3, 2 dc, ch 3, 3 dc} in same ch 3 sp, {(ch 1, 3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc) in next ch 3 sp} 3 times, ch 1, sl st in top of ch 3 to join. Ch 3 to begin new round.
Round 3: {2 dc, ch 3, 3 dc} in corner, *{ch 1, 3 dc} in each ch 1 sp of previous row, {3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc} in next corner*. Repeat from * to * until reaching first dc (ch 3). Join with sl st. This is your basic pattern for each additional round. Make sure to join each round before chaining 3 to start a new round
Repeat Round 2 until the dishcloth is the size you prefer. Mine consist of 9 rounds. Note that, as you add more rounds, to make {3 dc} in each {ch 1 sp} from the previous round. So, on any given side, your pattern will look similar to this:
{3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc} in corner, ch 1, 3 dc, ch 1, 3dc, ch 1, {3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc} in corner
Feel free to comment if you have any questions. With any knowledge of your basic Granny Square, this should be a piece of cake! I made three in one afternoon last week. Enjoy!
