Step-by-Step Detailed Crochet Instructions
1. Begin with the Foundation Chain
- Create a slip knot on your hook.
- Crochet a chain with a total stitch count that is a multiple of 3.
- Example: For this tutorial, chain 30 stitches.
2. Round 1
- Starting in the third chain from the hook, make:
- 1 single crochet
- Chain 1
- 1 double crochet
- Skip the next 2 chains, and repeat the following sequence:
- 1 single crochet
- Chain 1
- 1 double crochet
- At the end of the row, you will work 1 single crochet in the last stitch.
- This completes Round 1.
3. Round 2
- Chain 1 and turn your work.
- Work into each chain-1 space (skip the stitches, focus only on the spaces):
- 1 single crochet
- Chain 1
- 1 double crochet
- Repeat this pattern across the row, always working into the chain-1 spaces.
- At the end of the row:
- Work 1 single crochet into the final stitch (not the space).
4. Repeat the Stitch Pattern
- Simply repeat Round 2 for the entire project until your washcloth reaches your desired size.
- You can measure against another washcloth or test with your hands for size.
5. Finishing the Washcloth
- After completing the desired number of rows, end the washcloth with the following steps:
- Make 1 single crochet in the last stitch.
- Chain 12 (to create a hanging loop, optional).
- Attach the loop by making a slip stitch in the last stitch.
- Chain 1 and cut the yarn.
- Pull the loose end of the yarn through the last loop on your hook, and pull tight to fasten off.
- Use a yarn needle to weave in the loose ends neatly.
Key Stitch Explanation
- Single Crochet (sc): Insert the hook into the stitch, yarn over (yo), pull up a loop, yo, and pull through both loops on the hook.

Customization and Tips
- To change the size, simply adjust the foundation chain length as a multiple of 3.
- Experiment with colors by changing yarn after completing a few rows for a striped look.
- Cotton yarn is recommended for a durable and absorbent finish, but feel free to use other yarn types for decorative pieces.
