Materials Needed

• Yarn: Medium weight cotton yarn
• Crochet Hook: 5.0 mm (H-8) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 inches = 12 stitches in double crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Slip Knot: Begin by making a slip knot on your crochet hook. This will be your starting point.
2. Chain 30: Yarn over and pull through to create a chain of 30 stitches. This foundation chain will determine the width of your dishcloth.
3. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, work 1 double crochet (dc). Then, continue to double crochet in each chain across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
4. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). In the next stitch, work 1 dc. Now, *skip 1 stitch, and in the next stitch, work 2 dc; repeat from * across the row until you reach the last stitch. In the last stitch, work 1 dc. Turn your work.
5. Repeat Row 2: Continue repeating Row 2 until your piece measures approximately 10 inches square. This will create the textured pattern that gives your dishcloth its charm.
6. Finish Off: Once your dishcloth reaches the desired size, cut the yarn, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. 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 for a neat finish.
8. Optional Edging: For a polished look, you can single crochet around the edges of your dishcloth. To do this, simply insert your hook into the edge, yarn over, pull through, yarn over again, and pull through both loops on your hook. Continue this around all edges until you reach the starting point, then slip stitch to join.

Congratulations! You have successfully created your very own cozy textured square dishcloth. Enjoy using it in your kitchen or gifting it to a friend!
