- Gauge: 12 stitches and 14 rows = 4 inches in Tunisian simple stitch
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Foundation Row
Start by creating a foundation chain. Chain 30 stitches. This will form the base of your dishcloth.
Next, using your Tunisian crochet hook, pick up loops in each chain across. You should have 30 loops on your hook at the end of this step.
2. Row 1 (Forward Pass)
For the first row, you will alternate between two types of stitches:
- *Tunisian simple stitch (Tss) in the next stitch
- Tunisian purl stitch (Tps) in the next stitch
Repeat from * across the row until you have completed all 30 loops. You will have a mix of Tss and Tps stitches across the row.
3. Row 1 (Return Pass)
Now, it’s time to complete the return pass:
- Yarn over and pull through one loop on your hook. This creates the first stitch of the return pass.
- Next, *yarn over and pull through two loops on your hook; repeat from * across the row until you have one loop remaining on your hook.
4. Repeat Rows
Continue to repeat Row 1 for a total of 20 rows, or until your dishcloth reaches your desired size. Remember to maintain your gauge of 12 stitches and 14 rows = 4 inches in Tunisian simple stitch for consistency.
5. Bind Off
To bind off your dishcloth, work a slip stitch in each stitch across the row. This will secure your stitches and prevent them from unraveling.
6. Finishing
Once you have bound off, cut your yarn, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Weave in the ends using a yarn needle to ensure a clean finish. Your dishcloth is now complete!
Enjoy your beautiful, handmade Tunisian Honeycomb Dishcloth! Not only is it a practical addition to your kitchen, but it also showcases your crafting skills.
