What You Will Need
Yarn
For these moss stitch crochet dishcloths, I used two strands of DK (lightweight, 8ply) 100 % cotton yarn, but you could use any worsted 100% cotton yarn.
I used about 98 yards (90 meters) of yarn from each skein. If you are using a worsted yarn you will only need to use one strand of about 98 yards (90 meters).
Hook
G/6, 4 mm or a crochet hook size to obtain the correct gauge.
Notions
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
Finished Size
The dishcloth is approximately 9 x 9 inches (23 x 23cm).
Gauge
18 single crochet stitches and 18 rows = 4 x 4 inches (10 x 10 cm).
Check your gauge: Use any hook size to obtain the correct gauge.
