An easy crochet wash cloth strips the pattern down to its simplest form: straight single crochet rows in cotton yarn, with no stitch pattern variations to learn. This simplified version is the best starting point for first-timers before any texture variations. This guide gives the basic pattern.
Materials and Pattern
- About 60 yards worsted weight 100 percent cotton yarn
- A 5.0mm hook
- Chain 28.
- Row 1: single crochet in the second chain from the hook and each chain across (27 stitches). Chain 1, turn.
- Rows 2 through 26: single crochet in each stitch across. Chain 1, turn.
- Fasten off and weave in ends.
