Materials Needed

• Yarn: Cotton worsted weight yarn in shades of green, yellow, and cream
• Hook: Size H/8 (5mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 single crochets (sc) and 16 rows = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Slip Knot: Create a slip knot on your crochet hook. This will be the starting point of your chain.
2. Chain 31: Yarn over and pull through to create a chain of 31 stitches. This will form the foundation of your dishcloth.
3. Row 1:
   • Single crochet (sc) in the second chain from the hook.
   • Continue to single crochet in each chain across the row.
   • At the end of the row, you should have 30 single crochets. Turn your work to start the next row.
4. Row 2:
   • Chain 1 to begin the row.
   • Single crochet in each stitch across the row.
   • Turn your work at the end of the row.
5. Repeat Row 2: Continue to repeat Row 2 until you have completed a total of 30 rows or until the dishcloth measures approximately 10 inches square.
6. Fasten Off: Once your dishcloth reaches the desired size, cut the yarn, leaving a 6-inch tail. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure it.
7. Weave in Ends: Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends, ensuring a clean finish.
8. Optional Border: For a polished look, you can add a border:
   • Work a round of single crochet around the entire edge of the dishcloth.
   • Place 3 single crochets in each corner to keep the edges smooth and rounded.
